That's what I mentioned later on "except the php6 books" or something
like that. I however keep the other comments, while many users have
heard about unicode and php6, or the total fiasco a couple of months
ago, they did not and still do not care about it. The php5 migration,
adoption of 5.3, dealing with chaotic releases are what they talk
about. But that's the feedback I got, maybe other hears something
else, depending on the audience.
