No, you can assume that someone jumped the gun (by accident)
along with magazine lead times.  Once it happens, the best you can
do is let people know what is going on and ensure it doesn't happen
again.  With the 4.0 product, we missed the ship date by 7 days
(due to printer delays) and only had an advertisement out the
month ahead.  3.10 was handled similarly.  The basic philosophy I have
followed with the product is that 'you can only program with what is on the
shelf'.  Pre-advertisement (AKA RSN) doesn't help.
