Canon 60D and Aperture/iPhoto - RAW support?

I realize this camera isn't supported yet, so my question is really how long does it typically take Apple to begin supporting new RAW files after a camera's release? It's been about two months for this one :/ Month? Two months? Three months? Is a pattern documented anywhere?

Photoshop has supported the 60D for about a month now. That's frustrating.

Macbook (Aluminum), Mac OS X (10.6.4)

I would be interested in seeing anything history of release dates and RAW file support dates also. I am a newbie with only a S95 but also interested in when Apple will release RAW support for my camera [it came out approximately the same time as the 60D]. I have been advised to be patient...it will happen. My issue is that I download a 30 day trial of Aperture before I realized at the moment I can only try it out on jpegs, not RAW. I just hope it happens before my 30 trial runs out.

I did put in a request through the Aperture comment function but was advised it was probably unnecessary since Apple is well aware of new Canon and Nikon cameras.

I simply updated to 10.6.5 using the combo update (downloaded and then installed, didn't use Software Update in System Prefs). Aperture now recognizes and displays my CR2 raw files from my 60D. These are the full size Raw files, not sRaw files (which I don't use and so can't comment on).
