The better products end up floating to the top and people have specialized choices for specialized needs. That said, I'd still think there would be a big advantage to having some basic containers as a conventional part of Ada - especially for students. It makes it much easier to point them at an answer and if it is just there with the compiler, they just use it and presume it *is* part of the language.
