I do not mind the full matrix if it is cleanly done.

It may be an overkill and a maintenance burden, especially if it can be done only with a sequence of cut-and-paste repetition (i.e. not as a loop in the test script that synthesises the permutations).

The suggestion for those three combinations were meant to be an easy-to-implement-and-maintain compromise.

Thanks.
