John Volan says

<<Looks like I read too much into that article in Ada Letters.  I got the
impression that there is still a significant constituency in the real
time industry with serious reservations about OO-style inheritance.
Hopefully, it's a dwindling minority.>>

It is a significant minority (including for example the authors of the
C++ standard template library), and it is not confined to the real time
industry (and by the way, you can include me in that minority), but you
are right, the Doc/Patient dialog is quite appropriate.

No one forces you to use anything in Ada. You like Ada tasks? use them,
you don't, then don't use them (just to take another example, I used to
say:

Ada tasking is a tool, not a rule

You can substitute all sorts of other words for tasking in this statement
