Metastability data

Where can I find more information on metastability for Cyclone or Stratix devices?

This came up in a search now that Altera searches the forums... So I thought I'd post an update in case anyone is looking for current info!

Instead of publishing the metastability constant values, Quartus II can now report a design-specific MTBF for newer families, which seems even more useful (with certainly less math required!). See handbook chapter for details: managing metastability with the quartus ii software (http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/qts/qts_qii51018.pdf)
