You should really be looking towards 12.4(x) rather than 12.3T, if you aren't 
running an S release or have a particular reason to stick with 12.3T.  This is 
because just as 12.1T became 12.2, 12.2T became 12.3 mainline, 12.3T has now 
become...tada... 12.4 mainline.

Something around 12.3(14)T became 12.4(x) at the start of August with the 
release of 12.4(1), so IMHO you should really be tracking that for any fixes, 
aside from an assortment of the most serious ones which will still go into 12.3T 
for those who must run it and can't change.  The fixes going into 12.3T will 
slow down in time as it is now a "dead" branch and will not get any new features 
or major releases so not a lot of point in it being further developed.
Remember 12.4 development is now focussed on stability, no new features are 
supposed to be added.

If I was betting on stability, it would certainly be 12.4(x) rather than 12.3T, 
and as time goes by I'd bet bigger and bigger amounts as it theoretically gets 
more and more stable.
12.3(x) NOT T, is probably an even better idea, unless there is something in 
12.4 that you really really need.

I suspect 12.4(5) is not far away based on some odd references to 12.4(5) I have 
seen on CCO, such as bug toolkit :)
