I would expect Netatalk to get updated, but you should note that NetGear doesn't support beta OSes or beta software. They will stick with a stable version of Netatalk for now as running a stable version would be better for the vast majority of users. One would hope that a stable Netatalk 2.2 will be released well before Lion goes final which should hopefully give plenty of time for NetGear to incorporate it into the ReadyNAS firmware before Lion's release. Netatalk 2.2 will of course also be of benefit to users of older Mac OSes than Lion.
If you look at Synology, they are running a port of a very old version of Netatalk: http://www.netafp.com/status-of-netatalk-and-afp-support-by-nas-vendor-322/
From reading that article, I have deep concerns with AFP support on Synology. I do think that running such an old version of Netatalk is disgraceful and means they are a poor alternative for Mac users.
