Once POSIX threads are an approved standard (or at least are
"stable"), I'm sure you are correct.  Right now IEEE P1003.4a is still
in ballot, and it's my understanding that they are not very close to
completion.  In the interim, I don't know what thread/concurrency
model X11R6 is/will be based on.

IEEE P1003.20 is specifically tasked with working out how Ada tasks
and POSIX Threads interact.  There'll be a meeting of this group as
part of the POSIX meetings in Utrecht, Netherlands 19-23 October 1992.
