ASYNC and Entity Framework

I've just been reading up on the upcoming changes to c# and VB.Net using the new ASYNC and AWAIT keywords for asynchronous coding. Has anyone heard anything about whether or not this is going开发者_运维问答 to be usable for async db calls via EF?

Thanks

We are evaluating the possibility of adding async capabilities to EF in the future, using the new Task-based pattern. It is too early to say whether and when this will happen but any information about the scenarios in which you expect to be able to take advantage of this feature will be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE: Async support has been added in EF6.
