Is Adobe PhoneGap Dead?


I was reading a post on the Reddit Flutter channel talking about cross platform mobile development approaches in which PhoneGap was mentioned without reference to Cordova. In preparing a response I googled to understand the key differences between PhoneGap and Cordova; I found a reference this question on the PhoneGap website that said "Adobe PhoneGap is built on the open source Cordova project in the same sense that Apple's Safari and Google's Chrome are built on the open source WebKit project" -- except that Google forked WebKit to Blink years ago.

Which makes me wonder: is this answer on the PhoneGap so out of date because PhoneGap isn't actively being supported anymore and is either effectively dead or soon will be?
