Just to clear this little bit of particularly unconstructive FUD from
the air , no they haven't changed NISAM but created a new format :-
   Upgrading from a 3.22 version to 3.23   -------------------------------------
   *MySQL* 3.23 supports tables of the new `MyISAM' type and the old   `NISAM' type.  You don't have to convert your
oldtables to use these   with 3.23.  By default, all new tables will be created with type   `MyISAM' (unless you start
`mysqld'with the   `--default-table-type=isam' option. You can change an `ISAM' table to a   `MyISAM' table with `ALTER
TABLE'or the Perl script   `mysql_convert_table_format'.
