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?
Because it's just 5.2 + some additions and PHP6 (HEAD) is something entirely different? Did you even try to compare the codebase? -- Wbr, Antony Dovgal
