looks like Xilinx is taking an exit from PLD(and
non-volatile) -
market.

If there would be something new coming out we should have seen some
publicity on this by today.
( like mistake with the wrong posting about Virtex-5 )

Sure Both Altera and Lattice have their "new-PLD" families
(MAX2/machXO) out so Xilinx has the advantage todo the same even better
- machXO is better than MAX2 and CoolFPGA from xilinx could beat both
of them.

I would pretty much welcome Xilinx to have 'CoolFPGA' same as machXO,
but with 1 BRAM in smallest device and maybe more low power options.

Hm, lets see maybe there is something coming, sure one may wish Xilinx
to really get S3e and V4 production running first, guess it has higher
priority, possible to that extent that it doesnt any more make sense
for Xilinx even to attempt to compete with MAX2/machXO/XP
