The Ada9x mapping has been criticised as being over ambitious and at odds with the “minimum change maximum benefit” AJPO dictum. Consequently there is a need to cut back the scope of the proposed changes. This report considers the proposed changes which affect the programming of real-time single processor and multiprocessor systems.We argue that protected records, select waiting, asynchronous transfer of control, nested asynchronous transfer of control are all essential core facilities, and if any of these are omitted the success of Ada 9x in addressing the needs of the real-time community would be in serious jeopardy. If language simplification are deemed necessary, we would advocate the removal of user-defined timers, finalisation (but not abort exit handlers), and protected record functions.
