Unrmail has used mboxo when converting from Babyl to mbox since forever; it's not something new that appeared in 23. I think the lack of comments over the years indicates this is not a big deal. However, I agree that mboxrd is better so I made unrmail default to that, with an option unrmail-mbox-format that you can set to mboxo or mboxrd. Rmail itself (as opposed to unrmail) does not care about mboxo or mboxrd, with the exception of the display of non-MIME messages. I added a similar option rmail-mbox-format for that. (http://debbugs.gnu.org/9841 remains as a separate issue at this time)
