Even if that is the fact, first, I disagree with your definition of community, and second, how does a PHP beginner know about that? These are the people which will be confused.
Anyway, that is a political discussion, and I share the concerns raised in this thread.

And, well, I think, a proper RFC would be the way to go, to document the goals/roadmap and have to have a base for discussion.
