2023-08-21: Miniforge and Mambaforge installers are now identical
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

With the `release <https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/tag/23.3.1-0>`__
of ``Miniforge3-22.3.1-0``, the Miniforge and Mambaforge installers are
now identical. The only difference between the two is the name of the installer and,
subsequently, the default installation directory.

From now on, both installers will provide:

- ``conda`` (23.3.1 in this release)
- ``conda-libmamba-solver`` (23.3.0 in this release)
- ``mamba`` (1.4.2 in this release)
- ... plus their dependencies

I would only add a note that we are discouraging the use of Mambaforge

Suggested change
We have decided to keep the download links
of Mambaforge active to help those that have automated workflows.
The new usage of Mambaforge is thus discouraged. Bug
reports specific to Mambaforge will be closed as won't fix.
