While you do make a point, I believe we're talking about not trying to keep=
 Ada in a vacuum.  If as this exercise we just want it to stay in it's litt=
le silo then absolutely.  But, if we're talking about how to clear up the m=
isconceptions the language has as a whole, I think the people who were 'bur=
ned' by it are relevant.=20

Fact is, Ada is a pretty good tool to have in the old toolbag.
