I had endless discussions with people at GreenHills about that. Their
position is: "if we find some customer with big pockets who is willing
to pay for it, we'll make it"

I tried to explain that if a customer has a choice between a vendor who
says "if you pay a lot, you'll have it two years from now" and another
one who says "no problem, we have it off-the-shelf", the choice is
obvious... No avail, they don't seem to listen.
