Hello,
Next week I will remove Zend PHP 5.3 support from CI entirely. It is only used for MediaWiki REL1_23 branch which is low traffic.
The reason is CI uses Ubuntu Precise instances that comes with PHP 5.3. The distribution is end of life (as PHP) and it is being phased out of the Wikimedia infrastructure.
I will replace the jobs by their equivalent running Zend PHP 5.5 which would still provide test coverage and linting, albeit with a different version.

Hello,
I have done the switch this morning. Patches to REL1_23 branches should now run tests under Zend 5.5.
I will shutdown the instances and erase them next week.
