And I don't think you're being very fair to the Ada0Y team. The effort
that has gone into/is going into it is still huge!
It would be great if there were dozens of volunteers to promote new
proposals but the sad truth is very few people are capable of writing an
amendment to the RM (and I certainly include myself is the 'not able'
camp). When people talk about "language lawyers" it isn't far from the
truth! The knowledge of the language has to be absolutely inside-out if
you want to be able to amend the actual language - not so much the
standard library but even that's tricky.
Cheers
