Yes, but now you are talking about JTAG.

JTAG is a very different problem than configuring over the
configuration bus, I don't think it makes much sense to try and
combine those two things into a single subsystem.

The majority use of JAM/STAPL output is for manufacturing
automation. In system, In field programming of SRAM FPGAs via JTAG is
uncommon.
