My understanding is that ISO has a limit of two modifying documents to any 
particular Standard before a revision is required. We already have a 
Corrigendum to the Ada 2012 standard, and adding a separate Corrigendum and 
Amendment would add two more, which would exceed the limit.

So I don't believe this idea would be allowed. We might be able to get a 
waiver (once), but you're suggesting using it as a long-term strategy, and 
that wouldn't be allowed.
