To nitpick, there is no PHP 6.0. In the form it was originally proposed,
it was dropped back in 2010 when php-src trunk was moved to the
experimental/first-unicode-implementation branch and trunk was rebased off
the then PHP 5.4 branch.
As for ext/mysql's removal, we'll see what happens. I deliberately left
that open ended when I wrote the deprecation RFC, because it really
depends on how quickly people move to the better alternatives. I don't
think it'll happen in 5.6 next year — as this thread demonstrates, there
are still too many people using it right now, but it is going to happen at
some point. Maintaining three separate extensions for the same database is
insane.
