I think one "problem" Ada community has, is the endless discussions 
about what should be done.

I like the "Shut up and hack" mentality of (Open)BSD and how *BSD people 
do stuff instead of just discussing about it.

For example, check Synth, package manager for *BSDs, written by John 
Marino using Ada:
