At least 14 extensions will have to adjust their code and differentiate
between pre and post 5.6.

Even with excellent communication it is hard to reach every dev. Xcache
is one example of an extension with little connections to the PHP
community. I think it will take a consirable time before Xcache is fit
for 5.6. there may be many more extensions out there that suddenly will
break.
This will be a real hindrance to the acceptance of 5.6.
