Yes, you're right.

There is a copy of mb-depth.el on Emacs Wiki. I'll remove it and post a notice
that you can now obtain it from Emacs 23.

That will require people to download Emacs 23 to get this library, even though
it works with older Emacs versions also. That's too bad, but it is no doubt
preferable to having an out-of-date version out there.
