We should strongly consider ensuring that the latest stable releases of Ubuntu and probably RHEL (or maybe fedora) can run MediaWiki.

Kind of agree ;)
I'd like to see the next MediaWiki LTS version (1.23) to support PHP 5.3. MW1.23LTS has a scheduled release date at end of April (we might add a week or two for safety). After that, no problem from my side (release management) with dropping PHP5.3 support.
It might have been said before (tl;dr the whole thread) : a vast majority of 3rd party MW users still relies on PHP5.3. This is not a reason to block future improvements, but a fact to consider well. If we can agree on 1.23LTS supporting PHP5.3, imho, that'll do the trick.
