According to phandroid, we can take their word:
"Sony has been plenty transparent with their plans for updates to their entire lineup of Android phones, so we take them for their word when they promise to keep us updated via their official blog."

Well Sony been good about updating their devices lately so I can definitely believe it'll happen a month or 2 after launch. Kudos if they do

They may not be the fastest OEM when it comes to upgrades, but they sure have been sticking to their update timelines
I also appreciate the option of unlocking the bootloader by oficial means.
