An interesting product would be a conversion from Ada 95 to
Ada 83 to take care of those using "obsolete" processors for
which only Ada 83 compilers are available.

This would not be trivial, but it could certainly be done (the
-gnatG output of GNAT is an interesting starting point).

This might possibly be a viable option for some legacy programs.
