In advance of rewriting the skins system, MediaWiki 1.24 introduces a mediawiki.skinning.content.parsoid module which is a dependency of VisualEditor master. Making it so that downstream users can use newer versions of VisualEditor but not bleeding-edge MediaWiki would be a nice improvement for them, especially for LTS versions. However, we may want to have it settle down a bit more until now?
Is this still the only thing blocking VE master on 1.23? Or have there been new breaking things since then?

Lots of new breaking things since then, like your patches to make VE use Config, but VE-not-quite-master from a month ago or so probably would be able to go if this stuff was backported to MW REL1_23 (and more importantly, users wouldn't need to install the very confusing Parsoid PHP extension in addition to the Parsoid nodejs service).
Which specific, identified commits are proposed as backport candidates here?

Confused why he just rejected > the backport he requested… I was going through the backport request queue and didn't see anything to backport. Replacing the flag and, hopefully, I'll have time later to go through the list of patches.
