On the Open Issues list you have:
o Should we eliminate setjmp/longjmp exception-handling?

One thing to note is that on many architectures setjmp/longjmp may have
preferable characteristics in that it has bounded performance time for
a throw, which is valuable in real time programming. Certainly in Ada
we will maintain the possibility (-gnatL) of setjmp/longjmp exception
handling even after getting zero cost handling working on all targets.
