PHPNG is actually the official next version of PHP. If the PHPNG team is dead that means no active development is being done on PHP (period).

If PHPNG dies they simply could elect a different environment to be the official one. Just because PHPNG is "the future" right now doesn't mean the fate of the language is tied to it forever.

It's all well and good labelling HHVM the new official environment, but a lot of existing code does not work on HHVM.
