JEE6 servers availability

All JEE6 evangelists show JEE6 platform with light and glory. JBoss 6 AS final release is planned before Christmas. So far so good.
But for many companies AS is not enough, they use EAP with enterprise support. And due to business agreements it is not feasible to switch to Glassfish.
I was wondering when EAP 6 will be released. Kito Mann has already asked on JBoss forum:
community.jboss.org/thread/145928
The answer is: ask your support ...
So, I asked my support and receive the following answer:
"Currently, we have no means of updating our customers on changes of our development plans and release dates, but we most likely will not be able to give any real firm time frame on EAP 6 until JBoss AS 7 is GA. EAP 6 will be based on AS 7, so once it is out we can start productising it. The best estimation we can give for EAP 6 at this point is the end of 2011, but this is subject to change. Please, regard this as a projection, not a commitment."
Thank you Spring to give me a chance to play with JEE6 even with older application server.
