Maybe it is premature to assume that IFI is in the middle of developing advancements for 2007. The linked thread describes how IFI is at the end of their current contract with FIRST. Since they're at the end of a 5-year contract, perhaps they're burning inventory in case there is no renewal?

It could be--but I think that the purchase of Vex (which, unless I really missed something, seems to have its biggest support in FIRSTers) seems to point to IFI wanting to keep with FIRST. And there's also Tony's quote from the UFH award:

Unless they've been brainwashed by their bean-counters and managed to hide it in Atlanta, I'm betting that IFI will do just about anything within reason to keep working with FIRST.
On an unrelated note, I'd love to see the ring terminals return to the RC like they were in 2004. Secure, and so much less prone to break!
