This seems like one of those things that should of been negotiated before they appointed the contract to RS/Farnell, right? Presumably RasPi or Farnell/RS had previously discussed the distribution of the devices and I'm assuming that they at least made some suggestion that they aren't going to ship until CE certification was granted. So this shouldn't really be a surprise. If on the overhand Farnell/RS have both just said that they aren't going to ship out of the blue, then the cynic in me would probably guess that there would be some other underlying reason why there is a delay, such as other manufacturing problems. Either way, I don't think too many people are going to be too concerned. They will get here when they get here.
