I don't see any wrong here. Compatibility is always welcome.
Maybe the maximum performance/ best power management of the new processors depends on the support of a new chipset. Yet previous users of 890GX/FX can use the new processors.

I don't think that Asus will release a new version of old boards since the close launch of 990 family.

Waiting for the release .....
