Yes ,

No doubt, a lot of people using GNAT would be very happy as it would save
them a lot of time for doing their own programming instead of inventing
their own garbage collection methods.

LRM says:
27 Implementations are permitted, but not required, to provide garbage
collection (see 13.11.3).

Probably it is right  time for that.
Moreover, any Ada implementation targeted for Java code generation should
probably have this facility.
