Sounds like a typical case of "marketing screwed up development", where did
I see that?

I agree with Nikita - it makes no sense to adapt to broken literature that
is well known to be wrong.
I'd be more worried by all the confusion about "where did PHP 6 go?", as
well as the panic for those folks who are constantly scared by upgrades.

And yes, it would be laughable to have PHP7 without a PHP6 :-)
