but that doesn't work either if we use micro releases or have a 6.0. It is actually wrong to assume that these are even numbers, in theory we could have 5.B instead of 5.11. Test for the feature not for the release it first appear in, this is also very important because features do get backported, they can also get removed in the future too. -- Darren J Moffat
