Personally, I thank AdaCore for making such an interesting project
available.
A couple of postings down Jeffrey Carter quoted this, which seems apt in
the current context:
"Propose to an Englishman any principle, or any instrument, however
admirable, and you will observe that the whole effort of the English
mind is directed to find a difficulty, a defect, or an impossibility
in it. If you speak to him of a machine for peeling a potato, he will
pronounce it impossible: if you peel a potato with it before his
eyes, he will declare it useless, because it will not slice a
pineapple."
