Some are a bit pessimistic about it. From #wikimedia-tech:

2012-11-02 10.47 < TimStarling> 1.19 was the last version with extension branches 2012-11-02 10.47 < TimStarling> and nobody has adjusted their attitude towards backwards compatibility, so probably there will be no way to get working extensions for release tarballs in future
