Funny :)

Seriously, though, did you compare the result sets? Try viewing the
context for the "php 6" search. Randomly dig into the results, going
further into the pages, and I believe you'll see that many of results
appear to be related to the now-dead branch (I quick viewed up through
results page 35, where they stopped.) Compare that context with the
results for "php 7," which appear to be coincidentally proximal
occurrences of "php" and "7" unrelated to any version.

The point is, there are more than just a few authors that, in your
words, screwed up. There were many resources focused on the expected
release, and much of that information is still online, in addition to
books, podcasts, etc.
