I can speak for my self in saying that if not for the ACT packaged GNAT versions, I would have never started programming in Ada. I hope that if ACT does stop donating a public package of GNAT that there will be enough volunteers around to keep it going. If ACT does decide to stop the practice in the future, it would be good to perhaps post a note about it to give time to try and organize groups like gnuada.org's Linux group for other platforms.
