Why would they hold off for those outfits specifically? HF is shipping, ngzhang claims 5.1PH of Avalon gen2 chips have shipped and they're increasing production. Bitmain (even though you're discounting them) have shipped a tonne of hardware. Bitfury and his re-sellers are still shipping in-hand product. Bitmine has their first lot in and are moving into production. This concept that KnC is sitting here waiting for Cointerra, BlackArrow (lol), and/or AMT (lol) to ship before offering upgrades is a bit ridiculous.

Great service! Big respect for knC, despite the naysayers, they are doing what they set out do to.

We will ship no devices in December 2013, January 2014 or February 2014. Meaning that once we have taken the difficulty up at the end of November we will not release any more hashing power for 3 months.

Their competitors are other 28nm producers and none have produced or added to the network really, although cointerra are away to start shipping it still has not effected the network and may not in a big way when delivered.

We would like to state that If any of our competitors continues to add large amounts of hashing power to the network during December, January or February. We will continue to release our devices as competitively priced as we can to protect our customers share of the network.

If the upgrade boards are $1000 a piece that is pretty much 1bitcoin for 140GH(OC 160-170) possibly next week, that's a competitive deal if you ask me.
