[TYPO3-english] TYPO3 6.0 at the corner? How is it possible

[Tonix (Antonio Nati)]

Speaking only about numbering (and marketing), I don't see why two 
different (and incompatible) CMS should have same name and versions schema.

So, I agree, due to the confusion made from announcements, TYPO3 V5 
could be jumped, specifying clearly everywhere:

TYPO3 v5 version will not exist, given the ambiguity of previous 
announcements.
TYPO3 v6 will be the logical prosecution of TYPO3 V4.
Phoenix V1 (or whatsoever name) will be the forked CMS project based on 
FLOW3.

OR (better)

TYPO3 v5 will be the logical prosecution of TYPO3 V4.
Phoenix V1 (or whatsoever name) will be the forked CMS project based on 
FLOW3.

Regards,

Tonino
