Some will be, including the KAT4, KPA4, and KRX4 (the latter is what turns a K4 into a K4D). But customer-installation docs take some extra time. Our documenters are busy as beavers working on the owner's manual. (I don't mean chewing it, though a printed copy would be a good source of fiber.)

It does take longer to get the kit version out since many new drawings are required to accurately communicate details on modules, cables, and hardware to builders (as opposed to in-house assembly personnel). Can't really put a date on the kit version at this time, but it will be well after we begin shipping the K4 and K4D.
