The BECs have already cleared most of 2002 applications (maybe a few left over). I think the current dates take into account these labors. The retrogression will happen if people start jumping from EB3 to EB2.

Now, there are many ( PDs 2001 , 2002 ) non-RIR applications in backlog centers that getting cleared .
The queue for Indians going to be longer because largest takers for H1Bs from India. From year 2000 onwards, the cap was around 195 K H1Bs.
Say Indians took 80 K out of that . So, for 2 years around 160 K folks.
Assume 140 K folks stayed back to pursue GC. Counting the family member, the total visa numbers needed become 280 K. Now, the Indians in EB are allotted around 9 K - 10 K per year. Yes we will see 5-20 year queue !!
