Re: ARG asks Ada Community for API Proposals.

Are you suggesting that the ARG in some way maintain an effort to define
what constitutes the "Standard Ada Libraries" - beyond what appears in the
annexes? I'd think that would be a fine idea provided that a) they were
willing to take on that responsibility and b) came up with a process that
allowed for rapid turnaround on getting new features in. If the ARG can't
take on that work or can't update faster than a ten year revision cycle,
then they'd be the wrong organization to do the job. At one time there was a
branch of SIGAda that was willing to try, but couldn't come up with a
standard component collection. If the ARG doesn't want to handle it, maybe
SIGAda should take another crack at it.
