We're going to test against whatever testers want to test against.  And 
testers are going test against what testers use.  It can't be any other way.

Maybe what you want to suggest is that we include a little metadata in 
each library indicated the C++ revision requirements so that the test 
system can automatically skip those libraries which the tester doesn't 
want or is not able to test against.  The column for that tester just 
wouldn't appear when not relevant.
