AdaCore ship release notes and lists of known problems in each release
of GNAT Pro or GNAT GPL (look in ${prefix}/share/doc/gnat).
Unfortunately, they omit to synchronise these release notes with GCC's
announcement page. This reduces the visibility of Ada to the casual
user and reinforces the impression that Ada is a second-class citizen
in GCC. Too bad.

If AdaCore would only put these files in the public source code
repository, outside contributors would be able to produce release
notes without having to read the entire detailed ChangeLog. Currently,
this is too much work so nobody stepped forward to do it.
