Well said Sean, and exactly on point. It's about specifically helping out those that are going to be otherwise confused. And it's a zero-pain thing for us to do. It's just a number to us.

When people try to outsmart others, they may also suffer on consequences of
things not going the way they plan/want.

+1 on PHP6.

It's not about trying to teach the authors (and their publishers) a lesson by consequence.
It's about trying to help those who are (and will continue to be) confused by that mess.

FWIW (if it even matters), I'm +1 on shipping "PHP 6" off to Uzbekistan, and calling the next major version PHP 7.

Well said Sean, and exactly on point.=C2=A0 It's about specifically helping out those that are going to be otherwise confused.=C2=A0 And = it's a zero-pain thing for us to do.=C2=A0 It's just a number to us.
