I certainly agree. I thought that this issue had been laid to rest
with the previous discussion, but Jeff Law was interested in continuing
the discussion here. 

My own thought is that the entire thread under the above subject is a 
bit of a tempest in a teapot.

Let us proceed with our work in getting the GNU Ada sources into the
gcc tree, then let us work on helping to maintain them as effectively
as we can -- we are certainly eager to do this, and to do it in a manner
that will be as helpful as possible to the GNU community.

If people don't like what they see, or have suggestions for improvements,
they will make much more sense when made with respect to what is actually
happening, rather than people's imaginations of what might happen.
