It's really unfortunate as this bug is a regression reported
more than a year ago. September last year, the bug had been fixed,
but the fix went unreviewed and not approved for 3.3 as "Ada is not
release critical".
Now the same thing happens with 3.4. What criteria are being used
here to accept patches to fix Ada regressions? At 3.4 you said
wait for 3.4.1, now you're saying wait until... what time?
Basically, the message seems to be that if Geoffrey Keating breaks
Ada bootstrap that's fine. However, fixes to restore bootstrapping
cannot go in for another two major releases? Please explain.
There's a whole lot of difference between bugs
being release-critical and refusing to accept fixes
to restore bootstrap on a certain target.

Ada bugs are not showstoppers.
