So the Architect tells Neo that they've destroyed Zion six times now, but then later refers to Neo's five predecessors. I they've destroyed Zion six times, wouldn't he be the seventh Neo? If there was a version of this event that didn't include a Neo (or if the Architect was simply lying), I would hope that would be clarified. On the other hand, if this repopulate Zion scenario took place as he described, wouldn't the "old" Neo be part of Zion's current populace? I guess this all speaks again to how disappointed I was in how few further wrinkles about all this were included in Matrix Revolutions.

Neo was jacked in through the "kernel" of the Matrix. By allowing Agent Smith to take over his body/mind (copy himself, whatever the hell it is that he does), the essence of Smith overwrote Neo. And the whole goal of that was that since Smith overwrote Neo who was directly jacked in to the kernel, the "virus" was destroyed. So you can conclude that:
Virus = Smith = Neo = Dead
