Quote from Xilinx re: XPLA3

Greetings:

Here's a response from a Xilinx fellow who responded to me by email 
regarding my recent query on the group about XPLA3 seeming to be 
de-emphasized on the Xilinx web site:

---------------------------------------------------------------
Rumors of our demise are highly exaggerated!

Xilinx currently has no intention of discontinuing the XPLA3
CPLD product line.  This family is on the same fab module as
our highly successful XC9500XL family, which is also still
flying very high.  These families are still gaining market share!

I don't know how to post things on comp.arch, but you can quote
me there if you wish.

Incidentally, why isn't it interesting when our main CPLD competitor
announces discontinuing about 90% of their product line?
