2017 5k imac target display mode yet?

Does anyone know yet (from official sources) if the new 2017 5k iMacs just announced at WWDC support Target display mode finally? Everything has Thunderbolt 3 and Skylake now- so it shouldn't be an issue of bandwidth anymore. Bottom line- targetbdisplay mode holds a LOT of long term value... I have kept my 2010 27" iMac for exactly this use as a decond monitor, even though I stopped using it as a comouter long ago. If I can do the same with a 5k iMac... game on.

Please refer to Use your iMac as a display with Target Display Mode - Apple Support, it has not been modified to specially mention the 2017 imacs, however it does say:


"iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) and later iMac models can't be used as Target Display Mode displays."
