You can't complain unless you've had a go at making a change to 
Ada.

[gcc] (master) $ ls gcc/c | wc -l
19
[gcc] (master) $ ls gcc/cp | wc -l
87
[gcc] (master) $ ls gcc/fortran | wc -l
99
[gcc] (master) $ ls gcc/d/dmd | wc -l
114
[gcc] (master) $ ls gcc/ada | wc -l
565

count does not map to reality.
