Can we expect ZedBoards with higher density ZYNQs?

I know it is probably a bold question to ask and the answer is probably no, but can we expect the ZedBoard to every be produced with a higher density ZYNQ part? The reson I am asking is because I have been trying to implement some demanding designs in the ZedBoard and unfortunately they did not fit in the XC7Z020...

I say myself that the answer is probably no because the higher density parts also have serial transceivers, PCI Express etc.. which would require some PCB modifications to be able to use...

Anyway, if not, what about other boards beside the ZedBoard? can some Xilinx guru tell me if I can expect a board with a higher density ZYNQ coming out any time "soon"?

Thanks.

There are no plans for a ZedBoard with a higher density device.

I'm aware of two kits with a 7045. The 7045 has 4x the logic capacity plus the transceivers compared to the 7020, so the cost is obviously higher.
