[XeTeX] XeTeX and luaTeX

In a recent thread here, luaTeX was said to be the intended eventual
replacement for pdfTeX.

Since luaTeX is Unicode-based, and handles OpenType fonts, what is the
future of XeTeX? Will XeTeX continue to be developed? Should we be
following and experimenting with luaTeX in anticipation of a move to
that engine?

If this has been discussed elsewhere, please point me to it.

Thanks!
