bq. We shouldn't fail when there is nothing we can do.

In my opinion you are looking at the purpose of the smoke tester backwards: the
smoke tester shouldn't _pass_ unless the candidate it's smoking is ready for
release -- if we know that there is no "previous" index format that is being
adequately tested in the candidate build, then the candidate is, by definition,
not ready for release.

> We should add a 4.x index (4.x commit) with some 3.x segment(s) to our
> backwards tests.
> I don't think we throw IndexFormatTooOldException correctly in this case. I
> think instead the user will get a confusing SPI error about a missing codec
> "Lucene3x".
