The FxTree is not dead of course. Every components of XSI can be improved at any time by the Softimage team. Improved by adding feature to the existing code or improved by creating a new version of the component (like when ICE replaced the old particle system).
FxTree will be dead the day it will be removed from the product. Simple as that. Every other statements are just pure speculation. Period :).
