Timeline for Tag wiki for [php] is out of date, or Should tag wikis include "current" version numbers?

When PHP 7 comes out, maybe it'll make sense to have a [php5] and a [php7], although since the differences between PHP versions are usually differences in the language itself, that distinction might not matter for Super User's purposes. Like I said, though, in this specific case, saying "PHP 5" doesn't mean much since PHP 5.6 has seen lots of changes since 5.0. | |

@MrStatic However, there we have microsoft-excel-2007 and microsoft-excel-2013 tags.
