fyi: ES2016 javascript also supports async/await, and you can use them today w babel

No it doesn't. It just hit stage 3 in TC39 yesterday, meaning browsers should be considering implementing it experimentally in order to solicit feedback from developers. When it progresses beyond that you can start calling it ES2016.

i stand corrected, somehow i was under the impression that they were a part of es7 (es2016). So does this mean, there's still a chance that they might not make it?

It's going to make it in some form, possibly even it's current form, but it isn't formally part of the spec yet.
