Well... let's suppose that this chip was burning holes in PC Boards
and melting plastic ZIF sockets.  If so, then those customers are
probably already a little nipped.  Let's suppose that the only way out
of the situation is to delay the project for whatever reason and then
suggest that they wait just a little while longer for something
totally awesome and cool-running.  The customers are still a little
nipped, but if they are told that they won't have to do any
redesigning and that they get a little while longer to work out all of
their chipset bugs, then they might not be so nipped come introduction.

(Don't read anything in to any of this... I know absolutely nothing)
