After all, it's a larger change, so we'll presumably need more time. It is, but I'm also wary of having too big a gap between starting work and releasing. Plugging away for years without a release is really demoralising, as the PHP 6 experience showed. If anything, I feel like 18 months between 5.6 and 5++ is longer than ideal, but I think staggering the release timing is worthwhile. > Is there any problem with using the current master branch as PHP6 right away? 5.7 (should it exist) can be branched off 5.6 after all. We already have things that are likely to end up in 5.7, I think =E2=80=94 = I'd rather have a 5.x-master rather than forcing developers to maintain long lived feature branches for things that are 5.x material but not going into 5.6.
