I am curios: Which of your old favorites didn't work anymore? Which Ada95 patterns occur in practice, which are incompatible to Ada05? The only issue I had when converting Ada my own software from Ada95 to Ada05 was a very trivial one related to identifiers which had become keywords. (Namely, I happened to use the identifier "Interface".) And one or two compiler bugs which have gone now. So my impression was that the Ada05 guys did an excellent job at preserving compatibility to Ada95.
