The Ada-95 release does not cause older software to be made good.


But the newer compilers and other software tools they've developed
*can*. Which is why a lot of that F-35 code you're so happy about is
just modified Ada code from the F-22 suite - and why a good chunk of the
F-22 code is Ada-95 (newer and better development tools make maintaining
the code so much easier it was cost-effective to rewrite it).
