Hey,
I'm wondering if there are any concrete plans for dropping PHP 5.2.x support in MediaWiki. Support for these versions of PHP has been discontinued by the PHP people a few months back, and it'll take another while before the next MediaWiki version (1.20) hits it's release anyway. So my vote goes for dropping support for pre 5.3 in MW 1.20, if not already planned. Then we can finally make use of the new things introduced in 5.3, which in some cases are really useful and right now a complete pain to implement.
Any objections or thoughts on this?
Cheers
