Here now and works is not a sufficient criteria unfortunately. 
Fundamentally, we cannot rely on the internal operational details of a 
closed and proprietary tool.

And, no we're not expecting anyone to wait until Xilinx solves the 
problem - anyone is free to do so and we'd happily take patches as long 
as the approach does not rely on tool internals, but on the tool itself.
