SLT A77 Firmware Update & Next 7

The firmware for the Sony SLT A77 was just upgraded and one of the alleged improvements is  better image quality.  Since the Sony NEX 7 uses the same sensor as that of the A77, is it safe to assume that Sony will apply the same update to the NEX 7?  If so will DXOLabs re-test the camera?

It's impressive to see the IQ of the tiny and convenient NEX-7 be so close to that of my Nikon D3X.

Firmware updates usually improve processings, not the quality of the RAW signal, thus they have no influence on DxOMark measurements.
