I want to remind that the last attempt of PHP 6 died because it was mostly
unmaintained as "master" for a long time and we continued to postpone
it. We should try to not again make a "big move" but take "babysteps"
and focus on phpng and 64bit as the major features and not maintain a
branch while we are doing 5.7. This will undoubtful lead to a similar
"abundance" of the master branch as we just don't have the ressources
to maintain more branches (a point already made when we discussed the
release plan).
I think we should consider steps to make phpng the major development
branch within the year and if stabelizing it within the year possible,
make it the next release.
