I think we can both agree that there are many websites that have information about the now-defunct branch of PHP 6. Try revising the search to "php 6" + unicode, filtering out results based on url, etc. Now, you may go on to say that the existence of this information shouldn't be a reason to abandon the naming convention. Perhaps. But, I would confidently argue that the number of conflicting resources will not be "few." - You said you've not hear a single developer complain that there will be confusion. I believe you've heard a few on this very list :) Adam
