Will LGA 1155 coolers fit the next generation processors ?

So far they have fit 775/1155/1356/1366/2011/1150 and 1151. If they do not fit, I won't even be mad. This is probably the longest I have ever used the same cooler, ever.

Found this article and the fifth paragraph says..

Basin Falls will use a new CPU socket LGA2066. However this is a minor revision from LGA2011-3 and we hear from cooler company Noctua that existing coolers can be used on the new platform without the need for any adapters. So we can take it that LGA2066 is the same size and shape as LGA2011-3.

Socket doesn't matter as much as mounting dimensions. Assuming those stay the same, they should work. However lots of the nicer MFGs of coolers offer free mounting hardware for new sockets, or very cheap, so the cooler still works, you just need to pay $5 for new retention HW.
