Maybe the acronym gets some instant name recognition, but people will be confused. It could also be misleading when people put on their resumes that they know all about GPS (the programming system) and have the headhunters calling with Global Positioning System jobs. Arguably, it is probably wise not to mention "Ada" in the name since there will be whole gobs of people who would instantly dismiss the tools as being ancient-history, anti-Ada bias, etc. Better to sneak that in after you get the foot in the door.
