It has been in early planning stages for years along with concepts about 
writing a new compiler. It is not likely to go anywehere.

Linux exists because one person decided to start small and actually 
create something. AdaOS is thinking too big and has currently bitten off 
too big of a chunk.

I even considered going to http://www.longbets.org/ and putting up money 
on this.

Start your own and maybe others will join in.
