Hmm. I agree it would be nice if you could have both CVS $Id$ and no
warnings from the GNAT style check. However, given a choice between
the two, I'll take the no warnings.

Do you ever actually read the output of CVS $Id$ ? What is it actually
used for?

Ignoring warnings in general is very bad practice, and it's too easy
to go from "well, _this_ warning is ok" to "I checked all the warnings
last week, I'll ignore them this time" to "just ignore the warnings".
