1.27 is a Long-Term-Support (LTS) release. It means we make a stronger effort to backport fixes and support it for a longer period. 1.28 was not such a release.
If you have a look at the history of MediaWiki versions from 1.19 onward, you'll see the pattern: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Version_lifecycle. That page also has a lot more generally useful information as well. Hope this answers your question! -Chad On Tue, Jan 23, 2018 at 11:36 AM Evans, Richard K.
