Apparently, people needed to recompile some modules for debugging
or optimization, and this triggered cascades which made them unhappy.
Since the source files hadn't changed, they weren't being unreasonable
in their expectations. Ada83 didn't require such behavior. GNAT doesn't
exhibit such behavior.

Huh? That's *exactly* what I'm saying! You're the one who seems to be
saying that it wasn't a bug but a feature. Products which contain such
features soon find themselves replaced.
