Since the "main Ada IDE" isn't even an Ada program (primarily being 
programmed in Python), I'm not sure what it has to do with the reliability 
of Ada programs. If someone built an all-Ada IDE, then that might make more 
sense. And in any case, programs like an IDE are almost always installed 
from binary packages.
