Now, it's mainly just the unicode support that differentiates PHP 5.3 from PHP 6. A lot of those features that people spoke about at conferences were rolled down into PHP 5.3.

So "PHP 6" could be much farther away than the next release that will actually affect you. It's more important to ask "What's coming down the pipeline and how do I prepare for it?" Automated tests to run against alphas and betas is a great idea! We should also note it’s possible that some of the existing things thought of as PHP 6 could be rolled into a PHP 5.4 instead.

I think that the only reason that people keep asking this question, is because years ago speakers were at conferences giving Keynotes about the great features in PHP 6 that was 'coming any time now'. That tune has changed, but people still have those speeches in their mind. (Especially if they haven't attended any conferences since then) Well stated words … but I would point out one thing.
