They just classify them with a low priority (compared to reports from paying customers). If a bug report shows a real and crucial defect, you may be sure that they will fix it in a short time so that their supported customers don't stumble upon it.

They get their packages from Debian, which is today the top GNU/Linux distribution as far as Ada development is concerned. Sam -- Samuel Tardieu -- sam@rfc1149.net -- http://www.rfc1149.net/
