Yeah, I think you're right, but I do have about a dozen 74S189s.  
Problem with CPLD/FPGA designs is that as soon as you starting whipping
out Verilog/VHDL, you might as well do the whole system on a chip.

Yeah, I certainly don't intend to earn a living selling these things.  I
expect a small community.  With small quantity PCBs becoming easier just
a handful of systems can be made without exorbitant cost.
