Having been stung by various upgrades over the years, I tend to not touch stuff that isn't broken. I'm running several MediaWiki sites between 1.13 and 1.16. I'd sorta like to upgrade, but I don't know what that buys me, and y'know, they're all working... :-)
Are you aware of what security issues (which are now public) your wikis are vulnerable to? I am very sceptical that stuff "isn't broken", although I (personally) am not going to research old issues, find your wiki, and then attack it, to make a point. Have you really backported/rewritten patches for all of them yourself? I've been involved in MediaWiki development for a few years now - and 1.16 was obsolete before I started.
