Heh heh.. I got my new badge only just yesterday.

However, I've also been told on numerous occasions that our SoC product line (e.g. the Cyclone V SoC on the DE0 Nano SoC board) will have a long life and will have new, ARM-based variants.

Anyhow, I do like this board. I sit beside the marketing guy who oversaw development and was happy to provide him suggestions during that time frame so that it would be useful to robotic applications. This includes the Arduino style headers. There are some things I'd fix on it, but overall, it is a very powerful little guy.
