This seems a rather narrow minded attitude.

Even if GNAT is the only Ada 95 compiler ( are you real sure?)   the
LinuxWorld event and Open Source software in general are major areas for the
championing of ideas regarding software technology.

For the ARA to dismiss Linux simply leaves more areas that Java, C/C++, and
the next "strongly-hyped" language to flourish.
