I retired my RHEL6 installation a year ago, but I still have backups
at hand (...digs...) Yeah, its Test/More.pm says $VERSION = '0.92';
so your recollection is accurate.
RHEL6 has been EOL for awhile, and that specific platform isn't in
the buildfarm, so it needn't constrain our decision. But it may
well be that some of the older buildfarm members have similarly
ancient Test::More. I await results from Andrew's patch.
