With the 10.9.3 update to OS X 10.9, Mavericks, as yet unreleased, there are reports that within Apple, an Alpha version of 10.9.4 is already being circulated.

This suggests, Mark Gurman writes on 9to5 Mac that the release of 10.9.3 is imminent.

He speculates that 10.9.4 will be the last update of the current OS X released before 10.10 is made available in Fall this year, but I would not regard that as concrete. We still have 4 -5 months to go and there are perhaps still improvements to be made. Other versions of OS X have gone past the x.x.4 point.

We can certainly expect 10.9.3 sooner rather than later.
