How minimum version would help? If 5.2 requires one test, 5.3 another 
and trunk another - you either have to have 3 tests or declare that only 
thing you're testing is trunk (which is obviously a very bad idea).

It doesn't need to be the same now. Actually, for a lot of tests it 
isn't, for one reason or another (mostly error messages and stuff like 
that now, but there's more).
