That's exactly why we need the toggle. We don't want to encourage
people to stay with an older version. We have enough trouble getting
people from 4 to 5 today, why build in an automatic excuse for people to
stay with 5 when all development moves to 6? If all their PHP 5-based
code works flawlessly in PHP 6, the adoption of PHP 6 will be quicker.
As a side note, we had the same thoughts about php5, it did not work.
