Ah yes, well I assume the v1 board is released when Bkk thinks its ready. Also assuming he'd release it when he thinks it is production ready while considering overclocking potential. When it would be very easy to just replace a regulator, he'd do that before the v1 release. I've not checked intentions of other board manufacturers (like terrahash).
'Substantial user experience' refers also to hardware; temperature, stability, possible overclock on current hardware (etc). My main point is that it would be strange if Bkk would release a board that could be substantially improved (to a stable v2 board) within 2 weeks, I trust him to strike a good balance between quick release and 'maturity' (being overclockability). Maybe this boundary is around 2 weeks?

Personally I think that the IR3847MTRPBF (suggested replacement regulator) may be be a non-starter as quantities are essentially zero (okay 25) from what I can see. It might be more feasible to simply drop two of the existing IR3895 parts down and have one drive 8 chips each? I'm sure Bkk will come up with something.
EDIT: two more regulators and peripheral parts would be required, in addition to the two which are already present. Each would drive a bank of 4 ICs each.
Spacing would be tight - but likely quite possible.
Great job Chris!
