Upgrade WinPE files to 3.0, possible?

So now that Windows 7 has reached RTM, the WAIK is final, RSAT's available, etc. I got to thinking, is it possible to upgrade the WinPE files that Ghost has installed to version 3.0? The drivers should be all but a non issue in many cases considering a) Windows 7 comes with a truckload of drivers and b) upgrading an affected driver is pretty simple via the Ghost Boot Wizard.

I took the "boot.wim" file from the Windows 7 Enterprise DVD and patched that in as a test PXE image. It worked, albeit I got the Windows 7 setup screen. With a bit of tweaking I could probably get it right, but I sure would like to stay away from the custom-hack job type of setup.

So, is it possible to upgrade the files?

 I am wondering this too.

 I am wondering this too.  Win7 support is not fully implemented until WAIK 3.0 is allowed on the DS.
