PS3 Could 4.92 Firmware be around the corner?

So, it seems like we did get 4.92 as expected. I am curious as if will we get 4.93 next year now that BR production is going to cease
 
I'm already seeing posts on reddit etc of people who went ahead with the update to OFW and are now facing issues.

Strong recommendation as always to wait for the CFW or other tooling updates depending on circumstance.

There is not much reason to update if everything works fine and suits your needs but there could be various reason's to update as shown below

Awesome, It works! Only problem I have now is the constant lag.

I saw something online about EE cycle rate and Vu stealing speedhacks.

Idk if that's possible to do with config files or on CFW itself.
