If they're not taking money - sure, go ahead, announce 'til you're blue in the face. I've had a preorder in with Sweetwater for the Behringer Solina since the day it was put into their system. No money taken from me so while I'd like it to release, I don't really care. It will come, one day, or it won't.
When money is exchanging hands it comes down to "well, it depends." If a company is forthright about delays and timelines, that's somewhat understandable - LZX is pushing it with the Chromagnon (though they're honoring the initial price, so it's just someone jumping in now who pays more and they haven't waited 2 years) but they're an active company releasing related products so it's unfortunate but at least they're not radio silent like Abstrakt.
