Based on my informal surveys, in 2000, 5 yrs after ISO/IEC 8652:1995, every
compiler vendor had a compiler for it. In 2012, 5 yrs after ISO/IEC 8652:2007,
about half the vendors had compilers for it. It will be interesting to see what
things are like in 2017.

(If we were really enterprising, we would make it so that the networking libs were abstracted enough they could be replaced by SPARK networking libs and then added to the library itself.)

That's not being enterprising. That's being a competent S/W engineer.
