We should try to not again make a "big move" but take "babysteps" and focus on phpng and 64bit as the major features and not maintain a branch while we are doing 5.7. This will undoubtful lead to a similar "abundance" of the master branch as we just don't have the ressources to maintain more branches (a point already made when we discussed the release plan). I think we should consider steps to make phpng the major development branch within the year and if stabelizing it within the year possible, make it the next release.
