Will current air cooling solutions be LGA 1150 compatible ?

I am planning to buy the SB-E Extreme by Thermalright. It works on sockets 775 1366 1156 1155 2011. But I was wondering if I will be able to install it on the upcoming 1150 socket as well, because I'm upgrading my CPU cooler before changing the rest of my rig.

Sometimes, depending on the socket, different backplates are included in the packaging, right ? This is what gets me worried.

Thanks.

Any cooler that works on 1155 will fit 1150. Intel hasn't confirmed this but just looking at pics of the new Z87 boards they have the same distance between mounting holes & the sockets look the same size. It's a pretty sure bet they'll fit.
