The keywords here are <hiring .... any project>. The problem is that you
already have an Ada-unaware staff who's knowledge is needed to keep your
business critical applications running _today_.
A world in which your staff is enthusiastic on technical improvements,
and everything is sufficiently documented to handle more than the usual
turnover does not resemble the current average state of this industry.
Actually, there are a lot of people out there who are determined to keep
it this way, as their bread and butter depend on it...
And yes, I still can get cynical about it.
