is it based on any statistic? I don't think so.

nack for this.
One configuration file can't cover all fpga cases.
The reason why there is only one configuration file for microblaze is
that fpga variability.
If you want to use this option just create new board with your configuration
and use it.
Generic microblaze board should be as simple as possible.
I am ok with adding new command/drivers and improving config but I don't want to
support everything because it is not possible.

Thanks,
Michal
