Seeing as
a) many/most of the implementation dependent pragmas/atttributes come from
customer requests
b) we never have had the experience of supported customers complaining about
extra features that they don't have to use. Probably this is because large
serious Ada projects are very careful to specify what features they can or
cannot use, and very clear about portability requirements [for many of our
customers running their apps on non-GNAT compilers is not an issue]
It's probably not relevant. The important rule is not to use implementation
dependent features if you don't want to be dependent on the implementation.
That's a pretty simple rule to follow (and trivial to follow in the case of
pragmas and attributes as noted previously.
