Look at the confusion still being created on google by 'mozilla firebird' despite the fact the names was changed to firefox 10 years ago. It was only used for a short time. PHP6 discussions have gone on for the last 10 years. I don't think anybody will be confused as to why PHP6 was not released since it's a simple fact that the planned development path simply did not work. PHP7 allows a clean sheet and nobody will be confused by currently 770 thousands hits on google and 419 thousand on bing hits on 'PHP6'.
