Hi,
As part of the librarization project[1], we are planning on taking the CSSJanus library that is currently in includes/lib/ and bringing it in with composer. However, it requires PHP >=5.3.3 in its composer.json[2]. Krinkle has stated[3] that is due to the fact that it has only been tested on 5.3.3 and higher, and it's also what travis-ci provides.
After doing some research[4], it appears that we would be dropping support for Ubuntu 10.04LTS, which has security support until April 2015. MediaWiki 1.25.0 is expected to be released in May 2015.
Does anyone have any objections to dropping 5.3.2 support? I've uploaded [5] that actually increments the required version number.
Thanks, -- Legoktm
