Thanks. I am inclined to say that when we need the "make sure this updated send-pack works with older receive-pack and vice versa" tests the next time, the framework to call the counterpart program from different vintage might be reusable but what the test tries to test would be different, so keeping this particular test would be somewhat useful as reference and perhaps a starting point for such new test, but otherwise not very much. And for that kind of usage, "the Net never forgets".

I'd vote for its removal.  Thoughts?
