In particular, it will be hard to "flush out" Ada, given that _new_ Ada
keeps entering the DoD computers all of the time. Even if you discount upgrades
to current-generation weapon systems (e.g. F-16 Modular Mission Computer), and
weapon systems just now getting ready to enter service (e.g. F-22), there's still
new weapon systems just beginning development that are planning to use Ada. See,
for example:
http://www.jast.mil/jacdd.html
to get a document describing the use of Ada on the Joint Strike Fighter program.
