I'd like to see an informal adoption of a handful of packages that let the user make lists (sorted? unsorted?) of basic data types (things like Integers, Strings, plain vanilla records, ...) and Maps of similar items. If that made it into the standard eventually, I wouldn't be unhappy about it, but if we got a consensus going that at least this much should be included as something most Ada implementations support, I think we'd have something there.
