The last time this came up, I posted a list of requirements which I
consider non-negotiable prerequisites for the community at large being
required to test Ada when they are not specifically working on it.
This list received no commentary whatsoever, and no progress has been
made toward meeting any of the requirements except the separate libada
(which seems to have stalled).
