Is a new "dream lens" 50mm 0.95 probably coming next year?

But what do you think is the probability that a Canon will bring a revision of their so called "dream lens" 50mm f/0.95 again?
We got Nikon's roadmap and their 58mm f/0.95 is planned for next year. Do you think Canon will counter that move with the "dream lens" or do you think the 50mm 1.2 already covers that base?

Canon’s Lack of attention to good quality 50mm lens design has been the biggest tragedy in an otherwise golden decade and a half of outstanding lenses. In a great year they will come out with 3 or 4 all new high end lenses. Wasting one of those slots  on another high end 50mm lens rather than building out a more broad portfolio would be an even bigger tragedy.
