Can't find anything from Linn but here's a thread from last year (the arguments look rather familiar) and a post from a Linn retailer. Seems dealers used to know three months in advance and it was dealer-specific as to how they'd inform the customers, though recently things have changed and secrecy is a lot tighter on new product releases. I definitely recall some dealers selling to customers with the proviso that they'd replace the product with the new one when it became available (which must've cost them a fair bit?).
