There surely will, they said in the announcement that updates for GPE devices are coming 'very soon'.

Ah, I'm so conflicted... Do I keep Sense and the IR blaster/Zoe, or do I get stock with all the improvements and saner UI?...

> There are already patches for the IR blaster in CM10.1 (or 10.2 now). You have to cherrypick them though, as of two weeks ago they weren't merged yet.

Oh, thanks! I imagine CM is pretty much stock, no? It might even have PDroid patches, I'll have to look. I wonder how stable it is.
