I don't understand how this would work, and it feels like an inversion
of the upstream-downstream relationship. Shouldn't meta-xilinx pull
from OSL sources as appropriate and use an appropriate release, in
much that same way it does with the major mainline sources? OSL is the
upstream for those components and has it's own release schedule which
should not need to depend on a downstream. Is that schedule still
based on Xilinx tool releases?
