It would be nice to get to the feature level, meaning across files/classes/functions etc.

I've been thinking the same thing although not specifically about ASICs.

I was thinking any breakthrough in hardware (e.g. spintronics etc.), even if just partially effective, means all of this hardware would need to be replaced.

I bought my first new car in 1989, a Camaro with T-Tops and it cost me, $12,250.
