Hey,
An interesting question to ask here is why the WMF is still running PHP
5.3, and what the plans are for upgrading to 5.4.
In general MW seems to work just fine on PHP 5.4 or 5.5. One possible
exception being that update.php appears to have been broken with PHP 5.5
yesterday: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49819

Presumably they're still using PHP 5.3 because Precise (12.04 LTS) is
still on PHP 5.3:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/php5
Only the non-LTS releases have PHP 5.4.
...that said, I hope we don't have to wait till April 2017 when that LTS
goes EOL before we can kill PHP 5.3.
