I think it is partially based on ignorance.  I did at least try to
make that clear, when I put in my vote.  If somebody can explain me
that gnat-3.4 or gnat-3.15p in practice solves my problems better,
then I'm very open to move my vote.

My priorities are (roughly in order):

 + No license restrictions on compiled programs
 + Ada95
 + Tasking (on Linux/PPC, Linux/IA32-SMP and Linux/AMD64-SMP)
 + Efficient numeric code (on Linux/IA32-SMP and Linux/AMD64-SMP)
 + Ada2005
 + ASIS (on Linux/PPC)
