The other thing, of course, is that people who are working with
the FSF compiler and the free test suite can't be expected to
fix regressions that are only visible in a proprietary test suite
that they don't have access to.
The basic question, as far as I can tell, is: for someone who
isn't a dedicated Ada maintainer, how much responsibility do they
have for keeping Ada working? If everyone is happy for the answer
to be "not very much", then most of these discussions about process
can be put aside.
