There's no word, but I don't think it qualifies as "vaporware," since
Apple has never even claimed it exists.

I do believe it qualifies as *rumorware*, though.

Please note that the currently-shipping APDA draft of the GS/OS Reference
does not include new information about 5.0, although it does include 4.0
stuff.  (The OS changes from 3.2 to 4.0 are much greater than the changes
from 4.0 to 5.0, so it's certainly useful.)
