1.27 is a Long-Term-Support (LTS) release. It means we make a stronger
effort to backport fixes and support it for a longer period. 1.28 was not
such a release.
If you have a look at the history of MediaWiki versions from 1.19 onward,
you'll see the pattern:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Version_lifecycle.
That page also has a lot more generally useful information as well.
Hope this answers your question!

Can anyone say simply why 1.28 is obsolete and 1.27 is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.
