Wanted to note that going from 1.16.5 to 1.17.0 on CentOS 5.1 (what my org is using, and they are testing 5.5) -- I had to install PHP from remi. Even 5.5 doesn't have good enough for 1.17. I also had to recompile the UTF8 support because of a missing option.

right, if I understand this, the problem is only with installer, so wouldn't it be better just to make some workaround for older versions of php for installer rather than forcing user to upgrade, while it actually doesn't have effect on mediawiki which is already installed and working?
We wouldn't be forcing anyone to upgrade unless they're attempting a fresh MediaWiki installation and using < 5.2.7.
And TBH: if we wait for CentOS to support 5.3, we'll be looking at 5.2 support for another 5 or 6 years. But we're not bumping to 5.3 support anyway, this is just a minor jump from 5.2.3 -> .7
