Bryan mentions this in Canon News.
I think it will be a worthwhile upgrade, asI hit the dial by accident all of the time.

Inserting an extra button press into that process would hinder, not help. I have accidentally rotated the QCD on occasion and applied EC, so the lockout there makes sense - but it can also be easily enabled/disabled at will, unlike the locking mode dial.
But since they put it on the 60D and are offering to retrofit the 7D and 5DII, this may become the new standard for non-1-series bodies.

I would like this. I use a Black Rapid strap, and since the camera hangs at my side the nob gets turned frequently.
I usually just tape over my dial with gaffers tape if I
