I agree. Besides work *is* being done to get GNAT up to date with gcc 3.x
and this takes a lot of time (especially since gcc seems to be a moving
target as well). As I see it this is one of the biggest improvements one
can do to the compiler as one then hopefully can get better optimisation
(I have forgotten the name, but both Fortran and Ada can do better
optimising if the gcc backend is improved. I think this is something for
4.x.) 

So that Gnat 3.15p is from 2002 doesn't matter.
