Why was WDF support dropped in Quartus

Hi Christian,

The feedback that Altera received from our customer base indicated that the WDF format was not being used, or considered for use in new projects. As such this was considered a low priority and was not added to the Quartus software.

Quartus II v7.2, which will be released in the next few weeks, includes a state diagram entry tool.

This does not support WDF files, thus will not resolve the migration of these designs to Quartus, but it does provide a great self-documenting interface for the generation of HDL for state machines.
