Right, GLADE is being phased out and replaced with PolyORB as the
underlying PCS for annex E with GNAT.

Right, GLADE GPL 2007 can only be used in conjunction with GNAT GPL
2007.

No, there won't be a GLADE GPL 2008, the only annex E implementation
available for GNAT GPL 2008 is the one provided by PolyORB GPL 2008.
