scary business we are shipping products with FX12 on board and we are just
about to re-order parts, I know that all FX MGT production silicon is not be
expected before Q3, but I did not assume any issues with FX12 part, as it
was available looong time ago.

it could be that disties dont wanna have ES silicon in stock and they are
using standard worst case lead time, so thats why it looks so bad for you. I
bet FX12-ES in sample quantity should be obtainable.
