Are you serious, is GNAT really the only implementation of Ada 2012?

I see a huge list of Ada 95 implementations here:

  http://www.ada-auth.org/cpl/lists/CPLbase.html

And I figured that the updates only stopped because (per J-P. Rosen's
recent post) vendors aren't doing ACAA validations any more.

I know some of those vendors are still selling product but I don't know
that they've been updated for Ada 2012.  I don't see what's so difficult
about it if customers are asking for it--the changes are not that large.
