I think I am generally ok with moving to 13.2 since we want to be reasonably
current when the branch happens.

Do you know of any Ada users with Adacore support for GNAT/RTEMS?
I am aware of one case and they are using GCC 11 as a base so we already
have a mismatch. The user builds RSB tools with TLS disabled for
compatibility.
 I know this isn't a community concern but if we have more Ada users, we
want to do
right by them.

I also was asked about using FORTRAN recently.

I'd like to say the same thing about Rust users. :)
