"Harmony" refers to the whole post-ES4 consensus-based arc of specs from ES5 (neƩ 3.1) onward into the future, until "done" ;-). See

ECMAScript Harmony never referred to a specific edition of ECMA-262, nor could it. The "Harmony" name is used in nearby sub-fields of programming languages and software, e.g., the open source Java libraries developed under Apache auspices.

FWIW, ES6 is a known thing, in view of sites such as

http://kangax.github.io/compat-table/es6/

(which goes to "7" ;-).

Still, we can probably educate people and spread the word that ES6 = ECMAScript 2015, ES7 = ECMAScript 2016, etc. All under the "Harmony" umbrella, I trust.

Hi,

I now version does not matter but implementation and features matter, why then you dropped the "Harmony" name? It was using for a while, then ES6 was using for a while, now you wants new name. Sounds weird. Argument about features does not work.
