I just, again, tried to backport a test as part of a bugfix. The
renaming between 14 and 15 makes that task almost comically harder. The
only way I see of dealing with that for the next 5 years is to just
never backpatch tests to < 15. Which seems like a bad outcome.

I just read through the thread and didn't really see this aspect
discussed - which I find surprising.

Except that it's *way* too late I would argue that this should just
straight up be reverted until that aspect is addressed. It's a
maintenance nightmare.
