My preference is to make it work right, even if we have been doing it
wrong for several years.

But are you sure that reversing this will make it right?
I guess you compared MCS and BIT files both generated by Xilinx
tools, so we can be sure that our understanding of MCS will be
compatible with that of Xilinx.

What about IHEX. How do you know that IHEX also needs to be reversed?
