Oh, I'm sorry.  That's a perfectly understandable alternate
interpretation that didn't occur to me.  I meant "here where
I work", *not* opencores.

Though it does point somewhat to the predominance of Xilinx
in the industry.  I certainly don't have any market-share
statistics available, but I'd hazard a guess that it wouldn't
be far off the mark to call the FPGA market a "Xilinx stronghold".

Quite alright.  I agree fully with the points you've raised.
