php6

I've read in multiple places, including highly recommended PHP books published several years ago, that PHP 6 was just over the horizon, and would fix several of the BIG outstanding issues with PHP (namely unicode support). However, its been several years even since I've read those books, and PHP 6 is still not considered kosher for production use.

Is there a specific feature that is proving difficult to implement or is it a simple lack of community desire to develop PHP 6?
