Thanks for the long answer on the other email. It put me in the
right frame.

Asking ignorantly, what is the value long-term of doing this? Does it
make it easier
or harder to merge future versions? Add support for other peripherals.

How is hwlib versioned by Altera? Will it be easy to go back to the same
version
and get matching pieces?

Other than space and compile time, what's the benefit/

Looking back at the current TCP/IP stack, it left out pieces which were
not viewed
as necessary. The new approach is what I call a deep net.  Deep net
seems to
provide a stronger foundation. I think we are looking at shallow versus
deep with
this and want to make sure we consciously choose.
