That would not make any difference, except that it would be worse, since
more people would be annoyed at FSF tree breaking Ada.

Trouble with this approach is that *nobody* can build Ada out of the box,
which is very annoying. Having only me or Richard being able to build Ada
isn't that useful. I'd rather have as much people being able to build Ada,
that's the only way to avoid these continuous breakages.
