We should strongly consider ensuring that the latest
stable releases of
Ubuntu and probably RHEL (or maybe fedora) can run MediaWiki.

Kind of agree ;)
I'd like to see the next MediaWiki LTS version (1.23) to support PHP 5.3.
MW1.23LTS has a scheduled release date at end of April (we might add a week or
two for safety). After that, no problem from my side (release management) with
dropping PHP5.3 support.
It might have been said before (tl;dr the whole thread) : a vast majority of
3rd party MW users still relies on PHP5.3. This is not a reason to block
future improvements, but a fact to consider well. If we can agree on 1.23LTS
supporting PHP5.3, imho, that'll do the trick.
Best,
