There have only been two versions of the standard, and vendor extensions are well under control. There are many things that can be done to make Ada more popular outside the language definition. Any changes to the language pale by comparison in their effect. Making Ada more popular would not be desireable if it hurt the clarity and correctness advantages Ada has now.
