They could have released the code, let the community get involved and we would probably have fixed all the problems, pimped out the knc cgminer driver and then KNC would have one less problem to worry about. But they didn't. I think they are worried someone might discover that they are building asic bitcoin miners... shhhh!
I'm a broken record on this but I think if they just left the boards with 8 VRMs and open up the code they would of been champions. Once they took them off they have been in 'oh shit' mode and now anyone tampering with the code could really fry these boards up much easier (their own firmware was)
once they get a handle on everything they will release it but they quickly went the money savings route and treat us like we shouldn't ask questions
