They will just change 5 to 6.
We will go from Cat 4 to Cat 6 on the scale.
Reason being the actual Category 6 would be too rare to be useful to them.

The Saffir-Simpson scale is logarithmic. Currently, Cat 4 is 130-156 and Cat 5 is 157+. Had you made it to third sentence in the article, you would have seen that they are proposing changing Cat 5 to 157 to 192, with Cat 6 being 193+.
I have no opinion on whether there is actually a need for this, but some of you just look for reasons to be pissy.
