In MediaWiki 1.23 and earlier, the Modern skin was maintained within the MediaWiki core repository. In MediaWiki 1.24, along with other default skins, it was separated from core to its own repository. It remained bundled with MediaWiki until version 1.30.
Starting from MediaWiki 1.31, the Modern skin has been removed from the bundle.
