That's how I read it as well. They must have someone filling in on the job, as things are getting shipped. But as the pinch hitter doesn't know the system, things are proceeding slower than usual. Plus you have to consider the effect this could have on the rest of the people. If Dave was a friend, well liked, that it going to slow things as those friends worry about him. And I got my Infinite yesterday, and it shipped on the 17th, so the process is moving, if not as fast as potentially possible.
