Ok, so I assume the merge Geert is planning for this week is to bring
3.1 ada to the ACT tree.

You mean that ACT will stay on 3.1 and continue development there for a
while?
My understanding (of the FSF GCC tree procedure) is that after the FSF
release only critical bug fixes should go there
and for Ada this probably means bugs making impossible to
build the release or use the release bootstrap head on some platform, that
should be low volume. The rest of development should happen on head,
and I assume ACT need not keep both 3.1 and head in sync for the
FSF tree, head is enough. (Of course ACT might choose to do both
for customer releases)
Thanks for the information,
