Yeah I noticed it (though quite recently) I don't think it's been there that 
long.  I think you're right, if this was to happen, it would be a good boost 
for Ada.  I think there's many other possibilities with Microsoft too that 
could play a big role for Ada aside A# too :-)....so I think it's all good 
:-).
