Will OPAL 2.0 support be coming to Symantec Encryption Desktop for SEDs?

I need a solution

We are currently running Symantec Encryption Desktop 10.3.2 with Encryption Management Server 3.3.2.  We have begun to use the Intel SSD Pro 2500 series SSDs for our clients who want the performance benefits of SSD and security benefits of a SED.  However, to this point we have used the ATA Drive Lock feature within the BIOS to secure the drive and maintain the drive performance.  Unfortunately, this means we have to document every drive lock key deployed manually.  We would love to integrate SEDs into the Symantec software using OPAL to lock the drives and thereby simplify central management of keys.  

I have scoured the docs for our software and see no mention of OPAL compatibility.  Will this feature be added sometime soon?
