Wanted to note that going from 1.16.5 to 1.17.0 on CentOS 5.1 (what my
org is using, and they are testing 5.5) -- I had to install PHP from
remi. Even 5.5 doesn't have good enough for 1.17. I also had to
recompile the UTF8 support because of a missing option.

right, if I understand this, the problem is only
with installer, so
wouldn't it be better just to make some workaround for older versions of
php for installer rather than forcing user to upgrade, while it actually
doesn't have effect on mediawiki which is already installed and working?
We wouldn't be forcing anyone to upgrade unless they're attempting a
fresh MediaWiki installation and using < 5.2.7.
And TBH: if we wait for CentOS to support 5.3, we'll be looking at 5.2
support for another 5 or 6 years. But we're not bumping to 5.3 support
anyway, this is just a minor jump from 5.2.3 -> .7
