That's misleading of course, this is the date of
standardization, and cannot be compared with the M2 date,
since there was no ISO standard for M2 as far as I know.

The design of Ada in terms of major features (blocks yes or

Ada document really had most of the design complete, and it
was just polishing from there on.
