Seems reasonable.
To "sample" next year's platform now removes the critical path to having next year's factory Q.A. firmware ready.
Besides, sometimes it is next to impossible to create 'new' Q.A. firmware while the hardware is still in a preproduction sampling (hardware that 'engineering' might change at any moment).
