Well, if you want us to pull our pants down and compare... numbers. I
see 202 boards + variants in the tree that depend on vboot. There should
be exactly 0 boards in the tree where you can't opt out from Ada. If you
found some, please just tell me. Because I'm well aware that it's not
100% convenient and don't just pretend to but actually do take care that
no hard dependency sneaks in.

PS. The anger aside, if you have a problem because your host GCC comes
without Ada support, I'm happy to help. There are few distributions
left that bootstrap their compiler without Ada support. I am only
aware of reports from Gentoo users.
