Is there going to be an Program Support Extension available for IBM i 7.1?

I do not see a program support extension for IBM i 7.1 yet mentioned at
http://m.ibm.com/http/www-947.ibm.com/systems/support/i/planning/upgrade/suptschedule.html

But there was some talk of it here:
http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/ShowDoc.wss?docURL=/common/ssi/rep_ca/0/897/ENUS917-080/index.html&lang=en&request_locale=en
Then again, they qualified the snot out of that with:

Maybe they've decided they've had enough of that crap?
