This is hopefully only the start.

That's awesome! :D To me it just seemed silly that we'd continually upgrade to get more dedicated circuitry for things like low-power video decoding. I know programming an FGPA still wouldn't be as efficient as it could be, but I think in the future it might be nice to have an FGPA available for adding things like x265 hardware decoding a year after purchase. What I'd REALLY love to see is an FPGA in a Chromebook for students. School will be so awesome in the next decade.
