A question that seems pretty relevant here is: what exactly is the point of using the subtest feature, if we aren't especially interested in its effect on the overall test count? I can see that it'd have value when you wanted to use skip_all to control a subset of a test run, but I'm not detecting where is the value-added in the cases in Peter's proposed patch.
It's useful if you edit a test file and add (what would appear to be) N tests and want to update the number.
But I'm also OK with the done_testing() style, if there are no drawbacks to that.
Does that call into question why we raised the Test::More version to begin with? Or were there other reasons?
