I think ISC is actually only ending development of BIND 10, and it is this tree that is being renamed to Bundy and transferred to GitHub. As ISC notes in the article, BIND 9 is a separate project for which there is no mention of development ending, so I assume this to mean they will continue to develop BIND 9.

Now I'm really confused - will BIND9 and BUNDY then be "competing" products in the open source sense? Will they address different issues or usage scenarios? Also, even if the name has the magic combination of letters, 'Bundy' is an awful name that only evokes Al Bundy of Married with Children fame. How about BooNDoggle? BorNDangerous? BerkeleyNextgenDaemon? Just a starting point.
