Thanks.

I wonder: would it make sense to add to this text elsewhere in the
manual:

 @item Runnable
 The task is not blocked for any reason known to Ada.  (It may be waiting
 for a mutex, though.) It is conceptually "executing" in normal mode.

something that mentions the possibility that the task could be stopped
at a breakpoint, not only waiting for a mutex?
