Will there be an SM rated German Castrol?

Although i'm using M1 0W40 now I like GC a lot.I would assume making it SM rated would confirm Castrol's intentions about keeping it on our shores. Have any of the Syntecs received an SM rating yet? BTW I've seen M1 0W40 SM rated.

Castrol USA website lists all Syntecs as SM, except 0W-30 and 5W-40 grades. I would not expect these two to become SM anytime soon.
