I was listening to the presentation by heyrocker. He said that there's a plan to update or re-write the REST server and move it into services core.
1) Can we expect the same thing for the amfphp server by the amfphp module, and other servers as well?
2) Does that mean we won't need to download each server individually and add it into the servers folder with the xmlrpc folder? because that would be awesome.
3) But how about the amfphp lib itself? For amfphp to work it needs both the server (amfphp module) and the amfphp lib which is downloaded from amfphp.org. Will the amfphp lib itself be bundled with services core?

1) There are no plans to include amfphp into Services core. Some of the other servers, such as JSON, will be obsoleted because the new REST server has flexible response formats. However AMFPHP is far too different to be included in that way.
2) Currently you should not have to add external servers into the servers folder, they should be able to be installed as normal modules just like any others. However any non-core servers will still have to be downloaded.
3) In general we don't include external libraries in modules. However the amfphp libraries are GPL licensed, so there is no legal reason why it couldn't be. It would be up to the module maintainer.
Thanks for the clarification.
