When Gnat was first under development it was released early and often. I
remember trying out a version sometime around '94 that had no tasking
support and was riddled with bugs. Even in '95 it was not uncommon to
get bugs in simple assignments that involved no new Ada95 features. I
think Gnat *did* get somewhat of a bad reputation from those early
releases. So perhaps ACT's current policy is a reaction to that.
