It is indeed a choice on our part to remove pure Ada05/95/83 support from t=
he community release of the compiler.

That being said, 99% of Ada2005 project will work just fine in Ada2012 mode=
s. So you can either don't specify any language version switches and the co=
mpiler will be in Ada2012 mode by default, or you can explicitly use the Ad=
a2012 switch.
