A lot of Daala tools are now being copied into AV1, the largest being PVQ: https://aomedia-review.googlesource.com/#/c/3220/

The demos are still neat, and some of the ideas are being used in AV1.

Daala continues to be research platform for new ideas. New techniques are a lot easier to prototype in Daala than in more mature code bases.

I'm not sure if there's been an official announcement, but I had assumed that AV1 was going to be adopted/ratified as NETVC so that it's got a standards body rubber stamp, as well as the practical adoption/support from browser vendors, GPU manufacturers, streaming sites etc.
