(Hmm, this subject seems to have sputtered out, better get some 
gasoline... :-)

I wrote to AdaCore to ask them what their maintenance and upgrade 
intentions were for the GNAT GPL Edition.

I received a quite timely response that said their intent is to "[keep] 
this version roughly in sync with the latest GNAT Pro releases" and "in 
fact the latest GPL edition is more recent than the latest GNAT Pro 
official release, it corresponds to the more recent GNAT Pro Ada 2005 Beta".

Maybe Ludovic should rerun his Debian survey?  Declining to include a 
maintained Ada development environment on a Linux distribution may be 
unwise...
