After all, it is expected the relatively small group of Ada FOSS developers to untake such a monumental project.--Not that it isn't possible, but it also seems that with such interest in such a project, AdaCore would more than benefit from offering support for such a project as well as expanding the reach of Ada which, in turn, would benefit AdaCore even more so.
