Is this acceptable? Yeah, just include a note in the devguide version saying that anything added in 3.2 or later may not be available when writing tests for the 2.7 maintenance branch. Alright, and what should stay in the docs then? I guess only 25.5.2 (usage of regrtest). The rest is either documentation of support, or advice for people writing new tests, both of which belong to the devguide.

How to run the test suite should stay, along with a pointer to the additional information in the devguide.

Cheers, Nick.
