How is this better in any way? People are going to see "Download 1.23" and
assume it works. At least before people would ask on the talk page and I could
give them the proper commit to use
(https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:CirrusSearch#which_version_of_mediawiki_cirrusserch.2C_elastica.2Celasticsearch_working_together_well.3F_44870).

I know of at least two extensions where master is incompatible with REL1_23,
and there are probably more, and now the REL1_23 branch isn't compatible with
MW1.23.

No it's not a new bug. Before I filed the bug it was missing. People will come
on IRC (I helped at least 3 people with this), so we can point them in the
right direction. Now it's just downright misleading and we have to tell people
"don't use the branch that we say is compatible with 1.23, it's actually not
compatible, use this instead".

Yes, we do that regardless.

Thanks. Just remember to re-update it when you fix where the REL1_23 branches
to point to the right place.
