Will a cpu cooler I buy now work with Haswell E?

Looking to get a h100i which seems compatible with a lot of sockets
But I'm not sure if it will work with the new Haswell E cpu sockets?

I'm not even sure if this can be answered yet
 
Haswell-E will be on LGA 2011, or a variance of it with different pinout but similar dimensions, +- several pins, so do not worry about compatibility, any cooler that supports LGA 2011 should work on Haswell-E. I am sure Intel has no interest in updating the mounting spacing even when they bring a new socket (like they did with 1156, 1155, and 1150) to keep backward compatibility of coolers.

That's what I gathered too
The new socket is named 2011-3 I think and thus was hoping the mount would follow through
