no making a newer cfw is actually harder for the devs and serves the general public better. getting the keys and the passphrase can be done through exploits on a new system (which have been done all ready and are known by most of the devs but they are the ones who don't release shit). the keys can be used with cygwin to decrypt any new update to a game and then encrypt with geohots tools, edit the param.sfo to 3.55 and boom any new game works on 3.55. then run a dns server from your computer, change a few files on your ps3, change the way the ps3 connect to the psn servers with charles debugging software and change the old auth key to the new one and boom your online again.
a new cfw means a shit ton of 12 year olds jailbreak their ps3 and add challange lobbys and hacks to all your favorite cod games. it means all the homebrew that has been released must be decrypted with the old keys and re-encrypted with the new keys, and the whole structure of 3.60 is different from 3.55 so old homebrew might not even work right away and back ups and linux so it might be a good while before 3.66 users would get homebrew or a downgrade method if said cfw was released.
