Chaos will surely be, if we break PHP5 code. It should work without
modification. <?php6 is fine, <?php isn't.

People are forgetting why we have version numbers.
Yes, it's very spectacular to have all the new stuff in a major release, but
that's not what major versions are for.
Major versions are for BC breaks. And point releases are for BC-compatible
new features.
Therefore in 5.x releases old and new features should co-exist, and in 6.x
the old ones should just go.
Otherwise there's no point of using versions *at all*, and PHP can just
publish build numbers or dates.
Here's a refresher of the rules of versioning: http://semver.org/
