The "tree structured directories" addressed by Ada.Directories are on
their way out. Under Windows, for instance, there's a separate directory
called the Registry (which I understand will disappear in the next major
release) and there is a (rarely used) additional directory level called
file resource forks. It doesn't appear that Ada.Directories applies to
either of those. It's also become rather obvious that objects need to be
"filed" in multiple ways; a single tree is inadequate. The next version
of Windows is supposed to address this issue (searching? relational
database?). Ada.Directories will nicely standardize the multiple
incompatible directory operations packages of today, but that part of
Ada05 will become obsolete not long after introduction. IMHO
