This terminology is symptomatic of the lack of *one* Ada Consortium.
There is *a lot* of Ada organisations (ARG, AdaIC, Ada-Europe). I can
see a productive path in all these and the compiler providers (and
through them, user representatives) uniting and forming a global Ada
Consortium to deal with things like the CAL. I think Ada is currently
too much "ISO-oriented".
