Sure.

That would certainly be interesting. But any rethink should, IMO, result
in an Ada-noveau that is even more "Ada-like", and so perhaps even less
similar to other, more popular languages.
The question is if the rather frail thread of Ada life-force could stand
being divided into two camps, old Ada and Ada-noveau. Perhaps we can
hope that Ada-noveau will be much simpler and therefore easier to
implement, perhaps through more automatic generation of compilation
phases from formal semantics.
