Hey,

Also, it would be great, if WMF selected some old version of MediaWiki as LTS 
(Long Time Support) so extensions would be required to work with it. Currently 
that could be 1.17, first version which got ResourceLoader.

My observation is that most WMF maintained extensions are not maintained with 
much regard to backwards compatibility but with a lot of effort being put in 
replacing use of deprecated code usage quickly. They thus tend to have 
compatibility broken early after MediaWiki releases. I'd be semi-surprised to 
find a single one that is still compatible with 1.17 at this point.

What's so major is preventing new extensions from running in 1.17? Page actions 
in separate classes? Router? Are these major obstacles?

Dmitriy
