I had an HVAC guy over to fix my furnace just now (gas control value on an Armstrong Air for $700 after parts and labor...) and asked that question. He was saying there's a reasonable chance that they will mandate high efficiency for water heaters, but that natural draft options existed for HE (that would still require some sleeving up the chimney)
I'm praying the tank lasts until the furnace is replaced to be able to do both at the same time.
