Antti,
Xilinx (naturally) will be very cautious this time around.
Things like fast serial IO do not take much silicon, but they
do take large amounts of testing, and may need a tuning pass.
Probably, they also want some field hours clocked up as well.
All that, can easily add 6 months to a release time line.
ES would be a different story, and it sounds like you and Peter
should simply have a quiet word off-line ?
