nRF5 SDK support for SoftDevice 7.0.x?

Hello!

On 2019-06-24 the following mail was received:

 Product update notification June 24, 2019 

Hi Bojan,

We've just released a new version of our SoftDevices, version 7.0.0. This includes the first release of an exciting SoftDevice variant, called the S113. Please see below for details.

Please be aware that this version does not have nRF5 SDK support yet.

Best regards,

Product update notification September 2, 2019 

Hi Bojan,

We've just released a new version of our SoftDevices, v7.0.1, the first Bluetooth 5.1 qualified release. It is recommended to use this version in place of v7.0.0, which is deprecated. QDIDs for v7.0.1 will soon be available.

Please be aware that Bluetooth 5.1 Direction Finding is an optional feature, and it is not included in this release.

nRF5 SDK support for this release is coming soon.

Best regards,
The Nordic people

However, there is still no sign of new SDK as of today. The latest SDK available for download is 15.3.0, which only supports the SoftDevices v6.1.1. What is even more concerning is that I see some people already using SD v7.0.x on the DevZone (one, two, three, four, five, ...) and rarely anybody even notifies them that the SD version they are using is not even supported in their SDK.

Any information when will the SDK be released?
