I'm surprised to hear that QVLs are not updated. Definitely something I will keep in mind when next shopping for components, but the question then is which is a better strategy when choosing a mobo - A/ Buy a mobo soon after release (Advantage: you can trust the QVL Disadvantage: lack of mobo reviews so you don't know if the board is crap or not + early BIOS revisions are likely to be buggy) OR B/ buy later and the situation (advantages/disadvantages) is reversed?
