This is, and always has been, the latest release (e.g. MediaWiki 1.15.1). If you want to run beyond-stable you cannot expect developers who already don't have enough time to spoon feed you information they don't have. The WMF deployment branch is already well beyond what end users should expect.

The versioning interactions between mediawiki and its extensions are so complicated that it is simply not feasible to run the latest release while simultaneously using a variety of extensions.
Additionally, I strongly disagree with your definition of the code being used on Wikipedia as beyond stable.
