That can always be done later. Even if I don't think users care much about 6 or 7 being the version for the next major release. However for what I can read or hear, they care about traits and many of the points described in the RFC.
Maybe we could focus on getting the RFC sorted out and figure out what can or should remain in a 5.4 release. We are almost ready to go with it, a matter of weeks. I fear that a major release is something we are not able to deal with right now. Then we can begin with the next major (call it php 11 if we like to, does not really matter ;) version. There are still plenty of work for it (we all have in mind at least one thing).
