Note that it is not forbidden (is it?) to use a safety-friendly tool
(say, completely randomly, an Ada compiler) for quick-to-market
production.
It can help to increase the programmers pool and make the tools even
safer (the more users, the more bugs found - since it seems there
might be, sometimes, hum... bugs even in some Ada compilers).
