That sounds like a false dichotomy to me. Every indication is that the CAN bus was fully functional this year. Whether or not NI implements CAN hardware, NI or WPI write drivers for CAN, or the GDC allows CAN should be completely independent of the time Luminary Micro spends to improve the design. I haven't seen anything to indicate that Luminary Micro isn't taking the problems seriously.
