 I assume you are mostly referring to the changes made by #16858; this
 ticket only removes one digit.

 Do I understand correctly that you propose to always use `...` and only
 keep the minimum among the various numbers of digits that are output by
 all existing versions of Sage?

 Could you explain more precisely why you object to showing the output of
 the doctests with the (increased) precision used by the current Sage
 version?  Does it cause more work for you to keep them updated, or do you
 expect it may cause confusion among users with different versions of Sage?
