There is absolutely no benefit for a private business to disclose details about their production, productivity and demand to anyone but shareholders. Consumers will be given more information in cases where demand is more elastic or where there are more substitutes. Again, how much demand will be lost by FAS by having us wait? Doesn't feel great to me, but I know I will be getting a well made and supported world class product. After checking my email frequently through the Holidays, I have peacefully accepted I will get mine by June.
The other side of the coin, is if FAS were going to capitalize on the demand spike, prices for a unique, cutting edge product could certainly be lot higher in the near term. IMO.
