Yeah, that's correct - our version of MediaWiki very heavily customized meaning that a wholesale MW upgrade would be a massive undertaking with potentially minimal gains (since we've already made a lot of changes and improvements ourselves). As noted, we are happy to look into backporting tweaks - just send in a message to Special:Contact/feedback with requests!
