It could very well be that customers have not been clamoring for a component
library. It could be that if anyone has mentioned it, the assumption is "we
have to build one ourselves and we have bigger fish to fry". Maybe customers
handle this for themselves. Who knows?

I think there is a big advantage to including it with the compiler
distribution in some semi-integrated manner. (id est, it is tested to
compile and run with that particular compiler and documents make it easy and
obvious to find.) After all, lots of new users of Ada may not be aware of
the existence of such products or know enough to be able to use them
effectively. Better to have it right there and ready to go. Existing Ada
users may be able to manage it for themselves, but they're the ones already
sold on it.

Maybe the ARA is the right place to start instigating. However, I suspect
that a number of the members do read this group and are aware of this and
similar discussions in the past. It would be nice to get a little casual
feedback on the idea to decide if it is worth persuing more rigorously.
