Hi,
In the following articles you can see a good summary of the history of FPGAs (as seen from the FPGA group on Reddit):
The 28nm AMD-Xilinx 7 series devices are used in industrial, automotive, test and measurement, aerospace and defense, and medical markets.
AMD-Xilinx has formally announced extended support for all 7 series FPGAs and adaptive SoCs through at least 2035, including the Spartan®-7 and Artix®-7 FPGAs, the entire Zynq®-7000 SoC portfolio, as well as Kintex®-7 and Virtex®-7 FPGAs. All speed and temperature grades are included.

The project was featured in the embedded news site CNX-Software today. An introductory video is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn3sr3VMJQU.
