Nothing special or wrong going on there. Every 4 versions there is a Long Term Support (LTS) release. 1.27 is LTS, the next LTS will be 1.31, and so on.
See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Version_lifecycle for more info, including exact months when versions reach EOL.

Can anyone say simply why 1.28 is obsolete and 1.27 is still supported? I'm not looking for anything too technical. I'm just curious as to what went wrong. Sounds like there must be an interesting story there.
