For ada-mode, I just started the Gnu ELPA package, and told the ada-mode mailing list about it. The internal ada-mode is no longer maintained (except as required due to changes elsewhere in Emacs). There is a vague plan that it should be possible to include a Gnu ELPA package as part of the distribution, so that there would not need to be a copy of the package in Emacs git. However, no one has volunteered to implement that. I plan to declare the internal ada-mode obsolete and eventually delete it, after I get some speed issues with the ELPA ada-mode improved. --=20 -- Stephe
