Neutrik Introduces Unisex XLR

At NAMM this year, Neutrik is announcing their convertCON, a unisex XLR connector.  

The Neutrik convertCON contains both a male and female XLR connector, with a moving sleeve part which switches the gender.  The female connector is resessed behind the male pins when the sleeve is pulled back, and when you move the sleeve forward the female connector exposes its self.  

The Neutrik convertCON uses parts from the XLR XX series, and has the same color coded accesories as the XLR XX series.  

I plan on throwing out a whole box full of adapters and soldering together a few cables with these connectors, just to make my life easier.  When will they make this with the TRS included as well is my question.
