While I agree with the sentiment, I imagine that time nuts who are 
looking for solutions on-list are mostly hobbyists, not industrial 
designers (who would almost certainly have a procurement system behind 
them).  For quantities from 1 to 100 or 1000, a hobbyist will go to a 
stocking distributor and will know exactly how many are available when 
(s)he orders.

The lack of a second source for some Maxim products is another issue of 
possible concern, but again, not so much for the hobbyist (or even a 
small manufacturer).

I find that Digi-Key is generally well-stocked with a good variety of 
Maxim parts.

Best regards,
