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.
