No, No plans to stop developing on Plogue, just trying to reach a broader market of folks that don't want to mess with all the bells and whistles and learning curve of Plogue.
The plan is that the plogue version will live on, and continue to be free (at least as far as 5.1 goes, a 7.1 version might be shareware, but you can make 7.1 with two passes of the 5.1 stuff) and will most likely always have more controls and features than the standalone versions. Only the Plogue Version will have VST capability.
The standalone version's advantages will be drag and drop conversion (simplicity), integration as a converter into foobar2000 (convert to 5.1 from inside foobar) and will be multi-threaded and generally faster than the plogue version (Plogue is single threaded).
