Right. I disabled it (i.e., it's not compiled) in the latest version
of the patch I sent, and do not expect it to be reviewed. We've
decided that now is as good a time as any to do a much-needed major
revision of ada-tasks.c; I'm not sure right now if I want to remove
the source entirely from the repository. Depends on how major a
change I need.
The "underlying issues" are that Ada has tasks and they are (in general)
built on top of, but in principle distinct from threads. As for why to
put it in a separate file---well it's messy, due to the fact that
tasks map onto threads differently on every single confounded platform,
it seems.

Not yet, but I haven't forgotten it. It must go in, but I fear it will be
of no help for the current task.
