This person is seriously misinformed. Today, February 15, is the official
publication date of ISO/IEC 8652:1995(E), the revised Ada standard.

Yesterday, the latest version of the NYU GNU Ada compiler that implements the
revised standard was made available; a recent estimate is that over 1,000
users world-wide have accessed the NYU ftp server to obtain this compiler.
