No, they haven't stated this.

Yes.  Currently, the RISC OS version is still getting bug fixes via this
route.

You'll know when, as I'd expect the test builds to stop coming out for
RISC OS at that point.  If the RISC OS version breaks, it will almost
certainly break as in "won't build", not "won't work".

And, for the record, once things have stabilised following 2.5, I hope
there will still be work done on the RISC OS front-end -- time permitting.
