We have confirmation that Season 4 will not be starting at the same time as patch 9.2.5 releases, that Ahead of the Curve and Cutting Edge will remain active for the Spulcher until S4 starts, as well as some additional info on the new raid loot system coming with the season. This all comes from developer Scarizard talking about the new system, as you can see below (as originally spotted by Wowhead's Squishei).
yes, CE/AotC will leave when Season 4 officially begins, which is not at 9.2.5 launch.

re: 2nd q, could you explain why?
This means there's more time to get both achievements for the Sepulcher after 9.2.5 launches, which as you'll recall means cross-faction groups will get a shot at it before Season 4 as well!
Here are some additional responses to the recent loot changes coming to Season 4:
basically, if we said there's 2 coins people would want 3. if i said 4, people might want 5. 3 is pretty perfect for the kinds of questions I want answered, and things I want tested out of this season, that we can absolutely use to inform future decision making.

heroic bosses give heroic, mythic bosses give mythic. upgrades are nonlinear (meaning you can make LFR/Normal -> heroic, and LFR/Normal/heroic -> mythic)

by week 2, 20 shards, you'd be able to take any S4 raid item and make it mythic. assuming you were 10+ kills every week
