Yes, because there are serious problems with using Ada. The wider Ada use
is, more requests come.

It became complex because wrong features were adopted without reviewing the
language core for real problems. Ada could be much more simpler if it
stopped its drift in a wrong direction (actually multiple wrong directions
at once).

The main problem is that ARG considers individual features having no
strategic plan of Ada evolution. Only Ada 95 had a recognizable plan behind
it.
