There is going to be plenty of time (IMHO) between now and when PHP6
could be ready to start re-educating people so that it becomes less of
a problem. As for people who bought books on PHP6 well they should go
back to the publisher and ask for a refund.

If people have been writing code to be PHP6 ready then more fool them,
since its madness to try and write for a version of software which is
in constant flux. Anyone that I have discussed this with over the last
year have pretty much universally written code for PHP 5.3 in the hope
that the migration to PHP6 would be made more simple.
