Thanks Glenn, I have chatted to Jason and we wont remove it. It is just
that the naming doesnt make sense and is confusing at times (kat_ten_gbe).
I might rename it at a later stage but this shouldn't affect existing
designs as it would be underneath the yellow block.

Is there a compelling reason to remove it? If I recall, this version
relies on the non-free Xilinx TGE core underneath. It uses a bit more
resources, but is also much more forgiving about spacing between
packets etc. I found it nice to use in the past, though I have
switched over to the new core for new designs.
