What I think Ilia said (between the lines) is that basically we're forking PHP.
Perhaps we really need to accept the fact that this has already happened..
It started with the CPR for PHP_4_4 branch and same is now continuing with
the PHP_5_2 branch. If the support for PHP 4 was _officially_ dropped by release
of PHP 5, the adoption of PHP 5 would have been quicker than it has been so far.
You are right, that's one of the only way to "force" the move, the
only one I can imagine at least.
A realistic way to do it is to say that 5.x will not be supported 2
years (or so) after the first stable release of php6. That's still
~5-10 years with a maintained php5.x (ok, 5.0.x was born dead ;).
(No need to say that php4 support should have been stopped already)
