Craig Federighi mentioned in one interview (with Gruber I think) that the card can be reprogrammed. IIRC there were hints that they could be user programmable in the future, but of course nothing was neither confirmed nor denied.
I think this is missing in context. ( To me at least ). The card can be reprogrammed by Apple. And Apple could offer additional functions or features with it. I take that as something similar to current Afterburner function as in H.265 / 266 Video Encode or Decoding.

Apple has never mentioned any SDK for programming the FPGA, AFAIK. Source?
