We've started work in earnest, with the goal of getting one service deployed in HipHop soon: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/HipHop_deployment After we get that service deployed, we may need to set aside that work for other priorities. We'll be assessing at our next quarterly review in April, deciding if we want to finish off the job quickly, or if we need to let it rest while more bugs are knocked out of the system. If it looks like it's going to take a while, we can also decide if we want a PHP 5.4 upgrade prior to a full cutover to HipHop.
