I have been wondering the answer to this question for a while now. A LOT of stuff has been backported from PHP 6 to PHP 5.3. So much in fact, why don't you just call PHP 5.3 version 6? What major new features are left for PHP 6? The big one I can think of is unicode support and dropping some depreciated stuff. Yes, I have looked at the wiki todo list for 6. I'm not trying to start anything here, just want to know why not just call it PHP 6?
