It is not that questions about GNAT will draw fire (I have not
seen that happen). It is just that a lot (maybe the majority)
of Ada knowledgable folks have abandoned CLA over the last
couple of years, but many of them still participate in the
GNAT specific mailing list [although there too, we lose good
people occasionally who get tired of junk traffic :-)] So
you have a better chance of getting informal GNAT questions
answered there. There are no guarantees of course, and the
GNAT chat list has its share of unanswered questions and
incorrect answers like any informal group or list, but in
general I think people get more help there than on CLA for
GNAT specific questions.
