I doubt 10bit exclusive releases will last until the end of 2012. The trend is not more CPU power, but rather more task-specific devices (netbooks, tablets, etc). Sub groups don't get this yet, but they will. The actual computer industry and market decide these things, not people who call themselves "encoders". There are no consumer hardware decoders for Hi10P on the horizon, so anyone who wants video to work on the majority of devices that play video will have to support consumer standards for a long time to come.
