Understood.

No, we can't confirm that without knowing either the serial numbers or
the method by which the batch was ordered.  We talked about it in
engineering team earlier today, and there are some deployments who
requested more than the 24-hours delay when they made their order.  I
don't have (nor do I need) access to the ordering systems, but I do talk
with the people at OLPC who know how to handle the developer key
process.  ;-}

Once you have the laptops.dat file from the collection stick process,
follow the usual next step of e-mail to help at laptop.org indicating
you want developer keys.
