Does anyone know when Apple will begin to support Nikon's flagship NEFs files, the RAW files generated by the D4s and the D810?

At the time of writing, Aperture, Finder and Preview all report the NEFs files from the D4s and the D810 as unreadable. I've got to use Adobe's PhotoShop, Lightroom or Camera Raw to do post-production. I can't even see thumbnails in Finder. Has anyone heard of Apple addressing this, and a timeframe? Will the new replacement program for Aperture be able to work with them?

Final Cut Pro X, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

Well, now I know, how bad software department has become, I re-imported 5 RAWs in to Aperture - they became visible and editable. Great, So I just need to export all 650 RAWs and then reimport. Piece of cake… So I had to think about something similar to re-import.

Better Idea - just in case somebody reads that with the same issue: Mark the projects or better the folder all D810 RAWs are in. Then right click / ALT click to "Process originals new" or something like that (my language is not English). After that the former black plane with white triangle shows as they are - pictures, yay!

Thanks for comprehension and all the helpful hints.
