That's about where I am too. I'd rather see a real-time Ada OS, but I don't
really have time to start such a project myself (at least not for the next 6
months or so...). I do try to keep an ear to the ground though. There's
currently an interesting real-time microkernel project ongoing at CMU
(http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs.cmu.edu/project/art-6/www/rtmach.html). Just like
GNU/HURD is based on MACH, it ought to be possible to build an (Ada coded) RTOS
on top of RT MACH. The sources are available there for downloading, but I don't
know how acceptable the licensing terms would be.
