I have to admit I never tried to use cirrus, but I verified locally that a 12.3 version wouldn't fail as well (or so I think).

did you try to use 12.3 which should be supported for a little longer?

I think 13.1 might be better, since with this change we are also implicitly making a move to say that we don't really care about the old (but still supported) maintenance branch, but will only look at the "latest" version instead.

still (and Ed might have a stronger opinion about it than me) either version would be an improvement and feel free to add my Reviewed-by for what it is worth.

this might had been mangled by your mailer, but will presume is the thread where I replied before, and that obviously didn't stick for these round ;)
