I've yet to meet someone in the last few years who knew about the PHP 6 project, and wasn't aware it was about unicoding PHP... People care about the roadmap of the products they're using. I'm not sure why you would think that the multi-year flagship version of PHP would remain a best-kept-secret.

I'm too old to say it'll never happen, but I think I can say with a very high degree of confidence the chances of it happening within the next two years are very slim.
