So they're alienating people plonking down $1,000 for a printer by letting people from an unrelated queue jump in front of them...

And then shaking the faith of people who already waited this long for the XL. It starts to scream "we won't even be able to make enough XLs and would much rather you just forget about that".

Edit: Wow and actually something I didn't even realize, when the MK4 page first went up, there was no lead time...

So that's going to be another awfully sticky situation if enough XL owners actually take them up on that offer. Suddenly new buyers who were told no lead time will end up being bumped further and further back, since there aren't two queues: Printers ship by order date, and XL owners will all have order dates before new buyers.
