Thanks but I really am not the coordinating center of the Ada universe. I follow the Debian and GCC release schedules; I don't make them. Perhaps what you mean is that it would be nice if AdaCore would follow the GCC release schedule; this I agree with but, of course, I have no influence on AdaCore (and rightly so).

There is too much software and too many distributions; coordinating all releases with all distributions is impossible. That is why GNAT GPL Edition is distribution-agnostic; you can install it on any distribution. -- Ludovic Brenta.
