I like the idea of having jsond in the longer term, but do we want phpng to be the de facto "every PHP 5++ feature" branch? Spitballing: I presume the end game for phpng is going to be to vote on it, (if passed) merge it to master, add a delta to the major version number (whether that delta is 1 or 2 is probably another vote), and then open PHP 5++ for RFCs, which would then presumably allow jsond to be voted and merged soon after. I don't know what timeframe Dmitry and co are looking at for having this merged, but it seems like it might dovetail nicely with 5.6: we can get 5.6 out the door, then turn our attention to 5++ for a while — start refining that list of ideas on the Wiki, getting stuff in, figuring out what should be removed/deprecated, and so on. Adam, who promises he'll write some actual code at some point rather than just prognosticating on Internals.
