Why no manual transmission in US M6?

I searched and could not find any discussion on this.

I'm surprised that the US M6 (or 650GC) is not being offered with a manual transmission, when one is available on the M5 and 650 coupe and vert. Is there any word on whether one may be available in the future?

The 6MT "might" be offered for the M6 later in 2013 as a MY2014, as discussed in a couple of threads but there is no guarantee yet
