There's some (understandable) resistance to putting an ELF kernel in 
3.0, so the changeover will probably happen a few weeks afterwards.  At 
that stage we'll shift to the new bootloader as well.

I don't expect that ELF kernels will be supported for 3.0-RELEASE, 
although you will be able to build and experiment with them.
