	My brain must work differently... "From a hobbyist point of view" I
find Ravenscar to be "hairy"... As a hobbyist, I'm not usually thinking of
hard real-time response of an avionics system (NO dynamic memory
allocations after system initialization, for example). Trying to manage the
restrictions on entries of Ravenscar is something I can't easily conceive
of. Heck -- the non-Ravenscar restriction of no-blocking-calls inside a
protected object is a bit of a problem for me.

	But then, I also seem to be on the "threading is easier than async
dispatching" in the Python group.
