The rumor is that this will also bring Rev. A given the fact that they are closely related and that an official update for the Mogul supposedly having both will be released in that time frame as well. However, Rev. A has not been "promised" the same way GPS has by Sprint; ie: in a spec sheet.
We should all be so lucky that that update brings WM 6.1 as well.

Just to add further, when the Mogul was released (June of 07 I think) Sprint was telling everyone (including me) that an upgrade that unlocks EVDO Rev. A would be available by that Fall. Here it is close to Spring and still no Rev. A. This could take a while regardless of what Sprint "promises".
On a brighter note, Verizon has stated that their Touch will include GPS functionality out of the box, so whenever it launches (scheduled for the end of this month) I'm sure there will be someone who will extract the ROM and make it available.
if you don't believe me about the Verizon GPS, check here:
