At the very least, I can confirm that there is parts of what looks like AFM code in the latest MMr update:
strings emumm |grep afm
afm.c
afm_switch_matrix
afm_lamp_matrix
afm_saucer
afm_switch_system
afm_solenoid_map
afm_led
So it looks like they are working on it, whether it's what they announce next is anybodies guess.
