6 decades worth. 74ls90s get really boring to wire.
Unfortunately I am unfamiliar with using the device. But I do seem them
used.

Does anyone have any experience using CPLDs for very low phase noise
dividers?  You can get an XC9536XL from Xilinx for around $1, and I
thought it would make a good divide by 2 through 10 device.

I have done that with a Virtex4-SX on a ML402 board for fun and because a customer insisted on it. It was a desaster on the spectrum analyzer. It will probably work if you resynchronize the CPLD output with a 74LVC1G74 to the original clock.
