I get the impression that ACT feels that no one else wants to  
work on GNAT, that no one is capable of working on GNAT without
all of ACT's proprietary test suites and everything, and that
the concerns and problems of users who don't have a contract
with ACT are without interest. I'm certainly not motivated to
start working on GNAT, given that ACT is likely to be reviewing
my patches.
