    3 This ticket seeks to help with WordPress cross-version testing for extenders who are using WordPress' test cases.
     3Goals:
     4- Allow tests which need to be backported for the security test suite to be backported to older WP versions without the need to make significant changes to these tests to get them to run.
     5- Make it easier for extenders who are using core's test case(s) to be able to have one test suite and still be able to run it against multiple WP versions, including WP 5.9.
     6- Not make significant changes to the test suites for older WP versions including not making older WP versions run PHPUnit 8+.
