Good! Though I would offer a couple of suggestions - take 'em or leave 'em:


 * Reverse the saturation order in each row, so the darker (stronger) shades are more recent than the lighter (weaker) shades.
 * Make the division between the first two tiers after 1.6 (rather than 1.7). I feel that the PHP4/PHP5 minimum requirement is more relevant than the No-API/API feature change.  There are a whole bunch of features that could be similarly used as the divider, e.g. No Categories/Categories, so a requirements-based distinction is better.  In my view, there have been three stages of 'modern' MediaWiki.  Major changes were introduced in 1.7 and 1.16, but most other versions have been more gradual evolutions.  The division should probably reflect that (In other words, I would start a third 'old' tier at 1.16 when that is retired, rather than adding that to the existing second tier).
 * The two shades of green seem like different greens rather than the second being a lighter version of the first.
 * Shade future versions in grey, rather than a colour, and make the border dotted. Might make it clearer that they don't exist yet.
