No it's unlikely that QGIS will be ready to work with GRASS 7 that quickly. There are major changes to GRASS that require overhauls of QGIS connectors, and how to implement GRASS 7 support is quite debated on the qgis-dev list.
While stable, GRASS 7 is actually in beta status not release. My recommendation is that we add a script for GRASS 7 but do not enable it by default. For the workshop the best idea is to plan to use the osgeo-live base install and simply add the GRASS 7 install to it for that VM before cloning the VM to the machines. Can GRASS 6 and 7 from debs install side-by-side cleanly?
