Perhaps what would help is a page on mediawiki.org how to install and maintain
a continuously updated mediawiki from subversion. As you describe, the "stable
releases" are not directly usable, but form only the basis. However REL1_18
does come with all SMW-related extensions included.

>From this I gather, that to maintain a mediawiki installation, one has to
remove dozens of extensions for the REL1_18 checkout, replacing them with
compatible "release extensions". So for SMW:

Is
http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/tags/extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/REL_1_6/
or REL_1_6_1/ the correct one?

Which one the compatbile one for:
http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/tags/extensions/Maps/
http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/tags/extensions/OpenID/
http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/tags/extensions/SemanticDrilldown/
http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/tags/extensions/SemanticForms/
http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/tags/extensions/SemanticMaps/
http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/tags/extensions/SemanticResultFormats/
http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/tags/extensions/Validator/
etc.?

Perhaps such a page exists on mediawiki.org and I have overlooked it.

(I don't fully see why it would not be easier for those who know about the core
to extension compatibility to check the extensions, once they have become
stable or "released" in trunk, into the stable mw release branch, i.e. for the
coming stable one, into REL1_18.)

The same problem exists for the extensions that are used by WMF: The WMF
version gets the error corrections of the extensions used, but these are not
transparent. We tried (and failed) to use the 1.17WMF version for this reason.
