Its an engineering tradeoff. However, one would think it might have advantages for a company in terms of reducing the amount of office space they have to maintain, etc. Being willing to hire a team of Ada Software Engineers located in diverse parts of the country with the occasional face-to-face meeting has cost savings and advantages associated with it. However, it can have its downsides for the business as well. (There may be legal restrictions & liability issues that can make it difficult to consider this, along with any number of practical concerns about productivity, etc.) Still seems like it would be a good way of pulling together Ada personnel & getting a job done....
