No. Ac will be release anyway.

Judging from commit logs most updates take place on HEAD. Not many
developeres are working on AC-branch.

No, it isn't. Currently PLD has "static" way of developement - from
previous release, through snaphsots, betas, RCs to stable. ISOs are
usually generated once per year and after reaching stable state. Then
soon after stable state, distribution line dies due to lack of updates
and/or developers maintaining it. Thats the part I don't like. I'd
prefer PLD to be "always in developement" distro, with just two branches
STABLE (main tree on ftp, we guarantee it works) and HEAD (test stuff,
usually not working/finished yet) + snapshots/ISOs from STABLE lets say,
two, three times per year.
