It can't say "PHP 5 >= 5.5.15" if it's not also in 5.6.0. But if we were confident of it being in 5.6.1, it could say "PHP 5.5 >= 5.5.15 < 5.6, >= 5.6.1" or something less messy than that, and anyone using 5.6 would know that it was coming to them soon... Reading this post tells me exactlt why new features should go in x.y+1. It is a pain to figure which point versions introduced which features. Always was.
