Kush - his argument is simple though put in terser language by him.
I'll put a bit of wrap on. Bringing out a SH2 to cure the wireless issues of the SH1, only deals with range - not later functions like ac. Furthermore, putting the Puma5 chip into the SH2 doesn't make the VMNG300 future proof; conversely the use of Puma5 in the VMNG300 certainly renders the SH2 non-future proof.
For the above reasons, his point about older and newer equipment delivering the top VM speeds and capable of going higher exactly makes his point about the SH2 not being any more future proof than its predecessors.

I guess I just fail to see how the Superhub (or SH2) could be any more future proof than they already are. 8 DS channels seems more than adequate for what future plans are (200Mbit?) before they start rolling out 3.1 hardware. Could always have more DS channels I suppose.

But I do understand what it was. The SH2 behaved very well and was highly stable in router mode for customers (such as I) attached to a Cisco CMTS. But customers on the trial attached to the Motorola CMTS were having problems akin to those experienced by the same people in the VMNG300 days. (The problem was known as the TEK event problem which caused the modem to reset).
V26 is supposed to cure this and by all accounts that I can see on the trials forum it has.
I suspect that VM had to release the flaky V19 because they were running out of SH1s (I don't know that officially) and peops were generally nervous that would receive the discredited SH1. Sort of thing.
Anyway the V26 SH2 is a credible get-you-going device in router mode. I still hold to the modem mode mantra, of course.

If I had to guess, I'd suggest that someone somewhere decided that the SH2 was to be launched on a certain day and that's why they've pushed it out with the most stable firmware to date.
