Well said! In all fairness, though, this doesn't change the fact that =
the books exist=97and that their keyword trolling is eventually going to =
hurt those who look for information on PHP 6, if that's what the final =
product is going to be called.

But, really, who cares about a name while there isn't even a spec? The =
name should be the last thing that needs to be considered=97literally, =
so that the trolls don't have an opportunity to flood the market with =
opportunistic titles until the new version is well defined and ready to =
go. Calling it =93trunk=94 at this point ought to be more than enough, =
IMO.
