Cool; I didn't know that.
My grand, overarching idea was basically:
(1) to have the first (and open-source / freely-available) Ada 2012 
compiler be written (implementation language rather irrelevant), then
(2) have the second be written in Ada 2012 (probably w/ SPARK 
verification/proving) -- hopefully w/ all annexes (though that's a LOT 
of work) -- and this would be the commercial product, then
(3) have that compiler/PSE/IDE available for implementing a 
verified/proved OS.

Like I said upthread; I believe that we /need/ our foundational tools to 
be without error... and that means investing in verification & 
correctness checking.
