Will it be possible to use FPGA for custom logic?

Will it be possible to implement additional custom devices on the FPGA (for example MicroBlaze ;) and make it accessable to the system? How much space left on Z-7010 after installing all standard "firmware"?

WOW, 42% of 46k z-7020's LTUs is 19k! Seems like current design with HDMI controller does not fit to z-7010 at all. I hope it will be possible to build bitstream without HDMI support, especially because most applications does not need it.

Since board is built on FPGA, I think it would be nice to create an user catalogue, where users can share suitable cores. It might be really cool feature - literally download hardware from the Internet :)
