Digital felt that it was an infeasible amount of work to
upgrade their Ada 83 technology to Ada 95. Since you are
not in a position to judge the amount of work involved, it
is not clear that you are in a position to lable this as a
"dummest decision" :-)
In fact this decision was made in a much larger context of
general reorganization of Digital in any case, you have to
be aware of the context here.
