Mai is presumably in the biz to sell chips. So I doubt they apply the highly interpretive reading filters to what is typed in Amiga forums, those defensive mechanisms the typical camp backers have honed unto perfection and beyond. And then think, "Oh, we've been slighted - let's sell even LESS than we can given that we are having trouble because of bugs and quality control issues"...
If you really look - right now - you can see what some of the choices for the baord manufactuers are: sell boards with defective merchandise on them and hope you can deal with the support aftermath, sell the same revision but with a fix, or hold out for the "improved" version and hope that it has been field tested better than the last one, and to be looking for more expensive but reliable full-function replacements in the meantime.
Or several of the above.
