I think we're now using HHVM most places in production (which supports almost all PHP 5.4). Bryan Davis mentioned something about the misc servers still running PHP 5.3.
Are those the only ones running neither HHVM nor PHP 5.4?
What do we have to do to upgrade them?
Once the WMF cluster is 5.4-safe, we can then think about when to change core to require 5.4.
This has caused some issues, e.g. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/192380/ caused a lint failure during a deployment (since an unused but committed file had a 5.4-only feature).
There's a related bug, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T32092 ("MediaWiki PHP 5.4 compatibility (tracking)")..
