Since you are either reading comp.lang.ada or doing keyword searches
you should also be aware then that the idea of a production quality
LLVM based Ada compiler currently has major doubts about whether it
will ever actually happen.

Additional levels of doubt on top of that apply to whether something
usable will ever run on VMS.
