What actually this upstream is for ada-mode (Emacs/FSF or
ada-mode/AdaCore)? If I have understood correctly, the mode has been
completely integrated into Emacs and they are responsible for
maintaining and developing it. Now what does the (there is already
this functionality) mean? I have thought that ada-mode has support for
cross-referencing in emacs 21.3 (don't know the ada-mode
version), but I don't know what is wrong with it or what is better
in the Ludovic version (I have never used cross-refs).

We seemingly will be forking the whole ada toolchain from GNAT to
ada-mode, what about forking Ada itself. However, Ludovics
ada-mode supports GNAT projects so what about gnat-mode or
gnuada-mode. If the fork ever supports Ada2005, it could be ada05-mode
or something similar. If it will not support Ada2005, it could be
better to just supply patches for Emacs (I suppose that no huge
changes have been made).
