Another thing:
People are expecting the Navi family to go from rdna to rdna 2.0 . But when has AMD ever made a major architectural change to a gpu family? Major architechtural change had to wait for a newer family of gpus. Both Microsoft and Sony have said they're using Navi. We know Navi does NOT have have real hardware RT NOW, so why are you expecting for this to happen? There is, of course, a possibility that genuine hardware RT is a customization (It's doubtful).
This may require defining what part of the architecture or what counts as major. At least since GCN and Sea Islands (Bonaire, Hawaii, Orbis, Durango, possibly Scorpio and Neo) there have been changes to command processor blocks and surrounding IP, with the consoles having a number of other low-level changes.
Vega as far as AMD has used the name has had new instructions added with Vega 20.
Arcturus is in the GFX9 family, although it might not keep the Vega name given some significant extensions to the ISA and loss of graphics functionality.
Navi is GF10, and there is a pair of ISA revisions--GFX1011 and GFX1012, that would seem to keep additional instructions within the same GFX10 family. GFX1011 has some mentions of BVH ray intersect instructions, and if this is not in error that might mean some future variant of Navi family could have it.

Perhaps that means it's not a generation-ending change to add a few BVH instructions, or maybe even that some groundwork for the feature is there (difficult to squint at a TMU die shot to know if there's an extra set of microcode). New features can exist for internal evaluation in products that never see them exposed, such as how hyperthreading existed in the first Pentium4 core despite it not showing up publicly in the next generation. Primitive shaders for Vega fall into a more problematic category of feature that we know was in the silicon but did not see external use.
AMD seems to have become more willing to differentiate GPUs within a family in terms of features and instruction support with recent products, and that leaves out the flexibility semicustom designs have. Sony's design leads are on the record describing how AMD gives them a list of current and upcoming features when the custom design process is underway.
