that a supplier of components would be ethical enough to work on a first order first supply basis
that is certainly the case with Intel, although I'm not sure ethics have a lot to do with it. They want to encourage stable long term orders so they can predict the relatively long manufacturing cycles. There has been a fair amount of discussion on this topic on the Dell thread - in a market which is tight for parts, JIT builders like Dell can get squeezed.
