I've been suggesting this for ages.

Rogers NanoFPGA may be the best candidate for developing a custom stand 
alone single board maybe?

The problem is that people can't stick to the basics and we start seeing 
all these extra add-on contraptions which get little use, tacked on to 
what should be a simple and elegant design.
