I am amused by the number "2000". There are, in fact, 174 "Ada Issues",
which are the rulings, or pending rulings, on the current Ada standard.
Of these, 69 are considered bugs in the Standard document. (Others are
editorial comments, cases where the question has an obvious answer, and
so forth).
The Ada Issues are publicly available from sw-eng.falls-church.va.us.
