UDK is conceptually identical to stable branches. The difference is that
all the resources that Intel used to sink into UDK, for evaluation,
backporting, testing, validation, etc, would now have to be offered by
the TianoCore community. (This would also allow for widening the scope,
of course, such as architecture support.)
