+<li><p style="font-weight: bold;">Enable interoperability testing.</p>
+ <p>The tests frameworks (<tt>make check</tt>) have limited support for
+ testing with different client and server versions (1.8-dev clients and
+ 1.7 server, for example; or vice-versa). Make it easier to run such
+ interoperability/compatibility tests. Ideally, also lay the groundwork
+ to setting up a <a href="/buildbot">buildslave</a> to run these tests
+ regularly (we'll provide the hardware).</p>
+ <p>A related goal is compatibility with older on-disk formats, but at the
+ time of writing the author believes <tt>--server-minor-version</tt> and
+ <tt>upgrade_tests.py</tt> cover the needed.</p>
