Ah, but I don't live in the future. I live in the present. If I type 'perl' on the command line, the resulting program doesn't allow Perl6 syntax. The dozens of books I have with 'Perl' in the title don't describe Perl6 - only the ones that actually mention Perl6.
Note also that C++ has been around for 27 years. But there are only a handful of people who think C++ has as much claim on the name C as C itself has.
It'll be a long time before the general programming population no longer considers Perl to be a specific language, but a set of languages which share a few similarities.

As a matter of courtesy and common sense, we install Rakudo with the perl6 executable name, to avoid name clashes with the Perl 5 compiler.
Using that courtesy and common sense against us ist just being an asshole.
Also if you don't care about Perl 6, why do you answer Perl 6 nodes at all?
Perl 6 - links to (nearly) everything that is Perl 6.
