There does not seem to have been a decision made here - is there even a process for making a decision like this?
We already have some extension code in production that requires PHP >= 5.3 ( https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/111691). I assume that's not the case for core, but it seems a slippery road for us to go down allowing code that requires PHP 5.3 into production if we intend to support PHP >= 5.2. While we await some sort of decision about this, what is the appropriate thing to do when we see PHP code that's only compatible with PHP >= 5.3 in code review? I went ahead and tagged a couple of revisions I saw making use of late static bindings with 'php5.3' and left them as 'new' pending some sort of decision/guidance.
