They've been talking about this for a long time.  The technology is there, it's just a matter of convincing everyone to adopt it.

Any comments? Questions? Outbursts?

This technology is intended for use with new larger disk drives such as those with capacity 2 TB. The optimal top speed for USB3.0 is 5GB/s.  <--Surprised

I think seagate, at least, is selling external drives that can take advantage of the speed. And I think you can find a few motherboards that support it. No reason to get a drive that supports it unless you are upgrading your mb soon.
