        I dunno.  Nothing says there has to be only one OGA and one TRV
ASIC.  If there's design money and a market for a supercomputing GPU, but
it's too expensive for average users, then maybe the thing to do is complete
OGA1 and the TRV10, and go on afterward to a much more powerful OGA2 and
TRV11.
