If you watch the source video you can see why new firmware is a waste of time. Each new firmware update would stop people for a matter of hours at most since they also have a way to trick the PS3 into thinking it has the latest updates when it's running an older version.
Also, you can't really have two different keys, one will always work so there's no point for the other.
Finally, even if for some reason making a new key did work for newer games, the launcher the homebrew people will eventually make will that pointless since the PS3 will verify the launcher as an official legit app and then the launcher can launch whatever it wants.
This is truly about as close to worst case scenario for Sony as it can get because it's about as close to best case scenario the homebrew scene can get without the console being completely open by default (which Sony or any of the three would never do).
-edit-
Whoops, the source video isn't in this thread, check this thread but be warned the video is a good 40 minutes.
