I use interfaces all the time, to me it is critical.
But I do not use top-level interfaces, I only use
them in the design.  I typically write a wrapper
for MyHDL modules that I use as submodules in a
larger mixed HDL design.

Interfaces in the design are mainstream!  There are
issues with interface top-level conversion, at first
we were not going to include top-level conversion
(kinda like list-of-signals).  One of the reasons
things might not of changed in this area is because
of the MEP114 addition (@myhdl.module), meaning that
this issue has been (will be) put on the back burner
until MEP114 is merged into master.
