I think the naming schemes are quite arbitrary at this point. Going to 5 would come with massive expectations that wouldn't meet reality.

After the negative reactions to GPT 5, we may see model versioning that asymptotically approaches the next whole number without ever reaching it. "New for 2030: Claude 4.9.2!"
Or approaching a magic number like e (Metafont) or π (TeX).
the standard used to be that major version means a new base model / full retrain... but now it is arbitrary i guess
