Hello everyone. I've been hitting a lot of conferences recently, and found myself having the same discussion with multiple members of the community. And many of them have 'heavily encouraged me' to bring this discussion up here. And Julien's recent PHP6 email, reminded me that I hadn't done so. The short form is: We should not name the next version of PHP: PHP6, for 2 reasons:

     1. It will cause confusion in those least able to adapt
     2. It costs us nothing, hurts us in no way, to name it something else

There is potential for confusion regardless of what we do. If it's PHP 6, we get conflicts with existing literature. If it's PHP 7, this will lead to confusion about a version number being skipped. (Which is imho a pretty big wtf moment.) I find it quite ridiculous to break our versioning scheme over this kind of nonesense. Nikita

I have to agree with this. -- Good Guy Website: http://mytaxsite.co.uk Website: http://html-css.co.uk Email: http://mytaxsite.co.uk/contact-us
