Good evening, I am announcing a rather unorthodox RFC.
With the advent of the phpng and uniform variable syntax RFCs, it looks likely the next major release of PHP, to succeed the 5.x series, may appear relatively soon. However, unlike with previous releases of PHP, it is not entirely clear what it shall be called. This RFC attempts to settle the matter once and for all with a straight yes/no vote as to whether the name should be PHP 6. Should it pass, the matter is settled and we actually have a proper name for this fabled “PHP NEXT”. Should it fail, nothing is really lost, except that the discussion will inevitably resurface at some point. The plan, really, is to hopefully get it over with now so we don’t have to have this discussion later, avoiding potential future bikeshedding or derailment. This is the shortest RFC I’ve ever authored, and I’d greatly appreciate it if everyone read the whole thing: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/php6 The plan for voting, if I think we should go ahead with it, is the same as a normal RFC: at least 2 weeks after proposed to internals, voting for at least 1 week.
