Being concerned about BC before there is an actual release seems silly to me. The whole of PHP5 could be accurately described as 'experimental' atm.
+INF
Everyone who is using PHP5 right now knows (or plausibly should know) that it is experimental. Even the text accompanying the RC1 announcement says that it is for "playing with" and is not recommended for mission-critical use.
Making "BC"-breaking changes now affects a (comparative) few experimenters. Leaving things as potentially confusing or inconsistent affects the hundreds of thousands (millions?) of people who will use PHP5 in the next 5 years.
