I understand MediaWiki continues to support 4.0 onward. Will the
minimum version be raised as the main customer gets more heavily into
5.1?
(I have no objection whatsoever to requiring a later MySQL, just
asking about future plans.)

He has posted that s1 and s2 now are on 5.1
I assume s3, s4, s5 and s6 are still on mysql4.
After WMF completely migrates to 5.1, I suppose MediaWiki minimum
version will be raised when the next mysql5-only gets added.
mysql4 may get some extended support in the form of if ($wgMysql5)
guards, but the point until it is reasonable to do it, depends on usage
of the already EOLed mysql4.
