I think we should update core to 5.4 after next lts release or the one after next lts
release. Since lots of people are still using php 5.3 more then what 5.2 was when the core
was switched. and 5.4 would be a big change.

I think we're now using HHVM most places in production (which supports
almost
all PHP 5.4). Bryan Davis mentioned something about the misc
servers still running PHP 5.3.
Are those the only ones running neither HHVM nor PHP 5.4?
What do we have to do to upgrade them?
Once the WMF cluster is 5.4-safe, we can then think about when to change
core to
require 5.4.
This has caused some issues, e.g.
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/192380/ caused
a lint failure during a
deployment (since an unused but committed file had a 5.4-only feature).
("MediaWiki PHP 5.4 compatibility (tracking)")..

Image and video scalars are still not updated unfortunately (i say
unfortunately as its a pre-req to having any sort of modern a/v support and
we are seriously behind the times in terms of free video codec support)
