Maybe because you end up having to inspect the run-time library to
figure out why your application behaves like it does?

Or because it makes the behaviour of your program depend on which (correct)
run-time library you compile it with?

In my opinion third-party libraries are a different matter from the
run-time provided by the compiler.

I would definitely expect the handlers to be called for any tasks
declared outside the run-time.

Greetings,

Jacob

PS: I agree that the compiler providers should write as much as possible
    of the run-time library in Ada.
