Quote from a recent Marco Arment blog:

"The four-product lineup is long gone. Today, Apple ships 24 distinct iPhone hardware models in two screen sizes. The iPad is even more diverse: 48 distinct hardware models, two screen sizes, and two densities of the larger size. They also sell 34 iPods, and a surprisingly diverse and conflicted notebook line."

24 different models is different from the 20 different products mentioned above. I don't consider a White 16GB WiFi iPad 4 to be an entirely different product from a Black 16GB Wifi iPad 4.

The 4-product lineup Marco is talking about was the old Apple Matrix of Consumer/Pro and Desktop/Mobile comprising the iBook, PowerBook, iMac, and PowerMac.

Considering how much trouble Apple's had shipping white versions of some of it's products, maybe you should?
