Please can you explain more; last time I tried, branched versions of
extension generally worked with branched versions of MediaWiki? If this
isn't the case then it should be fixed.
Additionally, I strongly disagree with your definition
of the code being
used on Wikipedia as beyond stable.
Code in trunk is under development, that is what defines trunk - it
hasn't been tested to the same level as releases. Although I think this
is case where everyone will have different opinions, I'm not sure of the
current official stance.
