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.

than just prognosticating on Internals.
