Getting back to your points:
- You said "a few authors screwed-up." I think we can both agree that
there are many websites that have information about the now-defunct
branch of PHP 6. Try revising the search to "php 6" + unicode,
filtering out results based on url, etc. Now, you may go on to say
that the existence of this information shouldn't be a reason to
abandon the naming convention. Perhaps. But, I would confidently argue
that the number of conflicting resources will not be "few."
- You said you've not hear a single developer complain that there will
be confusion. I believe you've heard a few on this very list :)
