What is meant by this mention is simply that one (of may) tasks of CM
is ensuring that builds are consistent. Ada assists in this process as
a kind of after the fact checker in that the Ada system will check that
a consistent system has been built.

No one would (or should) claim that Ada encompasses all of CM (or desire
that it be the case :-)
