Agreed, which is one reason that I'm working on Byron, and why I would reco= mend that an Ada library-reposotory be written in Ada 2012. (If we were rea= lly enterprising, we would make it so that the networking libs were abstrac= ted enough they could be replaced by SPARK networking libs and then added t= o the library itself.)
