Yes, but no. Since moving to HipHip which is a translated/compiled version of PHP, we have been able to fork the language to clean it up. We have a strongly typed version, Generators, etc.
Syntactically it looks a lot like PHP and is backward compatible for many thing, but it's not really PHP anymore. The HipHop team has done a ton to make the language a lot more enjoyable to work in.

Generics, Strict typing, Collections, etc. Too my knowledge (I'm not directly on the Hip-Hop team) it will be open sourced, additionally we also generally present a PHP patch as well to allow it in future versions of standard PHP.
