The argument against disabling java as a default language always was

lots of java test suite failures in a complete bootstrap+test cycle.
So the second point is, IMVHO, not really true.
Feel free to enable Ada. Builds and tests faster than Java,
and is known to expose many more middle end bugs, including
ones that require non-call exceptions.
But to get that coverage, testers will need to have gnat installed.
Will that become a requirement for middle-end patch regression testing?
