I hate arguments like this. It's a self-defeating question, setting up
an impossible impasse.

Is this really adding much to the maintenance burden? I doubt it, esp.
considering the overall complexity of Ada2012 and modern OSes.

Only rebuilding Engine 3D. Although Gautier did mirror it to SF.net
without my prodding, even there it's considered "inactive/abandoned".

Nope. Last I checked, ObjC didn't even work anymore (since 4.6.x?), but
I don't grok that either, just bored/curious.
