(1) Lately there has been another problem. I might be just impatient, but since Bandai has not taken on too many titles other than their major license, if they have a release date for a specific volume, it should either be released on that date or say it's delayed. Haven't heard anything about vol 4 being delayed. On the other hand, other companies in some cases release their titles before the release date.
(2) This series has the potential for a dub, but if Bandai has decided on winding down its operations and not taking any more licenses, let someone else license Hayate and let them dub the series.
(3) Each active company (studio) has a perfect representative to voice Hayate and Nagi, although the studio that works on the dub will go a long way to determine good dubs for the rest of the cast. Comedy and drama both work well for Funimation. Most of the dubs by California and Vancouver, Canada tend to be serious or dramatic with their dubs.
(4) A-Texas / B-California / C-Vancouver
Hayate (a) Blake Shepard / (b) Yuri Lowenthal / (c) Kirstin Ayre or Brad Swaile
Nagi (a) Hillary Haag / (b) Christina Valenzuela / (c) Shannon Chan-Kent
California - Valenzuela may be the only one today to sucessfully dub a kugimiya role
Vancouver -
