I am waiting patiently :) Seriously, I am very hopeful as I'd love to rekindle my years of Tango knowledge and comfortablness with Tango. I truly would rather not have to start from scratch somewhere else (which I did with .net).
I'm also taking the opportunity to download WebObjects through my ADC account since I now have a few days to spare. That'll be very interesting - esp. since WO comes with both Mac OS X deployment and Windows deployment - easing the transition on servers. So both WO and CF now have free crossgrades, while With (I asked them directly) will charge the upgrade fee for that.
