LOL no. Everyone knows how this particular sausage is made. It's obvious we are talking of an organically growing decades old codebase. It won't surprise anyone.
To be more on topic, ever since I learned of the PicoEVB a few months ago, I am just giddy of the possibilities, it's amazing we finally got a mobile and PCIe connected FPGA. I wasn't even looking for one because I haven't thought it possible. We truly live in the future.

Indeed, I'd be surprised if the current teams even know how to actually set up a working build environment, as opposed to something like "Here's a pile of VM templates, each one from a former subsystem lead who left the company 5-10 years ago, and a how-to document that assumes you're running VMWare Workstation 4.0 on Windows XP. Talk to Joe if you need licenses for anything.".
