With this new LTS version coming out in a few weeks, is there a rough ETA on how long it takes to add that to the install templates for a new droplet?

Anyone know how long it took to add previous versions? We are keen to start a LTS droplet but would rather start with 14.04 than having to upgrade a 12.04 in a couple of weeks.
I’m guessing it isn’t particularly straightforward as DO will need to clone all the repos and build their own images, would be nice to hear even a rough estimate though.
Apparently they had 13.10 the after its official release: https://twitter.com/digitalocean/status/391316426574663680
