No, they haven't stated this.
should I continue to download and install test
builds from the RISC OS section of the Downloads area?
Yes. Currently, the RISC OS version is still getting bug fixes via this
route.
Presumably, at a certain point, these will fail due to
incompatibility
with the existing RO front end, but when?
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.
