Decoded, I am saying here that there is a tendency in my opinion to view new compiler versions in a hierarchal sequence that tacitly suggest one should always use the most recent compiler version. I don’t think this is right and instead older compilers should still be kept in hand as befits the users’ needs for specific applications without any suggestion of being outdated. Very often there is nothing to be gained except a whole load of trouble in changing to newer compiler versions of the same language.
I’m sure the custodians of the Ada language know what they are doing just the same.
