Intel will be launching it's new 6 core Coffee lake procesors soon on the LGA 1151 socket, but the new z370 will only support the new Coffee lake CPU's, since intel wont allow it.
It seems that there is no reason for the Z370 chipset to not be able to support Kaby Lake, it seems to be only a firmware restriction. Intel wants the motherboard manufacturers to only support Intel 8th gen processors on the new Z370 chipset. I guess we will have to wait and see. But to be honest if it's only a firmware restriction it wont be long till someone will find a way around it.
