I'd like to correct that.  AFAIU, GNAT Pro and GNAT GPL are from the
same branch of development at AdaCore.  They periodically merge this
branch into GCC at the FSF, during Stage 1 only.  GNAT Pro, GNAT GPL
and GCC have independent release schedules.  GNAT Pro and GNAT GPL are
snapshots of the AdaCore branch (+ extra QA and bug fixing) at
different times.  GCC is a snapshot of the GCC release branch at the
FSF.  More details in the Debian Policy for Ada:
