I don't buy into that model at all! Vendors need to focus on the product they are manufacturing and work with their customers to ensure that they are manufacturing what is needed and works as expected. While at first it seems like a good idea eventually trying to be everything to everyone causes a vendor to lose focus or divert resources in ways that normally would be used on product development.
When I was in the development side of the house I had key customers whom I could trust with their knowledge and insight to deploy and guide our beta products so that a released product would performed as expected. If you try doing this as a vendor/deployment then you become too mi-optic in your views.
