Makes sense to me. It's only three letters.
Any chance PHP6 is going to be cleaning up some of the generally unnecessary backwards compatibility?

Well that doesn't sound like anytime soon. Good to know they won't be so worried about it though.
Thinking as to how PHP 5 made OOP actually feel like OOP, I can't wait too see what they do with 6. No idea what PHP is missing though, but it seems like people are always coming up with new functions.

honestly, if you look at the history of php, and the rate at which funtions have been added/removed... thats pretty fast.. lol
i could go on for days about the changes coming in php6, and I dont really think that would be appropriate for this thread... but there is a nice litte review that is mostly right.. and lists most of the cool functions coming.
