Well said! In all fairness, though, this doesn't change the fact that the books exist—and that their keyword trolling is eventually going to hurt those who look for information on PHP 6, if that's what the final product is going to be called. But, really, who cares about a name while there isn't even a spec? The name should be the last thing that needs to be considered—literally, so that the trolls don't have an opportunity to flood the market with opportunistic titles until the new version is well defined and ready to go. Calling it “trunk” at this point ought to be more than enough, IMO. —Mt.
