Yes, *please* do. If Google doesn't allow for "editor feedback", please
go to the same category (replace directory.google.com with dmoz.org) at
dmoz.org and send a short note to the category maintainers. You can skip
the editor ghaering, cos that's me and I am already aware of the quality
problem of the Ada category. But I have almost given up editing in this
category, because the other guy's policies wrt to quality-vs-quantity
seem to be incompatible with mine.

Speaking of which, Adapower does have a list of compilers vendors.
