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?
