I'm going through: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Version -- and it means that the version of mediawiki currently deployed is r28966, however that commit was only yesterday by siebrand -- is that correct.
Yes, the Wikimedia sites generally follow the MediaWiki trunk pretty closely.
Also is the extension list fully up to date, ie if I download and install everything on that page, and run mwdumper I should have an exact mirror of wikipedia?
The extension list is generated automatically based on the extensions that are installed, so in theory, yes, but do keep in mind that different Wikipedias (and other projects) will have different extensions enabled.
