Well, it's better to have the strict minimum in Standard.
For one thing, everything in Standard is visible everywhere, and clashes
with everything the user would define (it is "more" visible than
use-visible elements).
String was necessary in the language, therefore Positive was necessary.
The rest should go in other (regular) packages. You can regret that
Ada83 had not more predefined packages, but in any case, those things
would not have been put in Standard.
