I think it's a very smart decision. Thank you very match!

I've checked the cross-upgrade test form 9.5+ to current master and
have found no problem with accuracy up to dumps filtering.
For cross-version tests automation one have to write additional

If there are no other considerations could you close the corresponding

With the best wishes!
