Robert, it's interesting to read your comments in light of the history of the gcc/egcs split. After all, Richard Kenner worked for GNAT at the time, and I believe that you did too. In my opinion, Kenner expressed the attitude which you express--in his case, stability for Ada was the preeminent goal. I think that attitude was a significant root cause of the gcc/egcs split. I think that tends to prove my earlier point in an extreme case: if you don't make an effort to encourage your volunteers, you lose them.
If you want to prove your point by history, make sure you know the history. First GNAT is a product, no one works for it. Second, the company is AdaCore Technologies, I am CEO, Richard is Treasurer :-) so the past tense is bizarre :-)
Third, at the time of the gcc/egcs split, Ada was simply not a factor and had nothing whatever to do with the events.
