So? Welcome to the real world.
PATH is an environment _variable_
that is ok to add stuff to.

Having at least 4 version of gnat installed, its dead easy to
switch between.

Yes, let us remove the freedom to simple config changes,
and put stuff like that in some hidden config file,
so complex that you need a special tool to change it.
And rip out any transparency, so you can get rid of files
and put them in a database.

Lets us kill all text-editors and
only use _your_ soon-to-come-any-decade fantastic
super duper editor
