I think a lot more users will be pissed of when renaming php to php-cgi than regarding to the cli-version of php as php-cli or phpsh or anything else. The best solution would be indeed bundling both to one binary. If this delays a 4.3.0-release? I don't give a damn about it! The idea "release fast, release often" is completely ridiculous in my eyes. If you would like to release 4.3.0 as soon as possible simply let php be php (i talk about the cgi-version), mark cgi still as experimental and work on the integration to one binary for 4.3.1 or 5.0.0.
