PARI doesn't strictly follow semver, so whatever I say here, PARI will
eventually make a fool of me. Still, I think a fair goal is to support
the latest "point" release series, currently 2.15.x.
My comment is about the approach we take to version compatibility
moreso than a hard rule to be followed. For example,
* We should not be outlawing minor versions of packages for bugs
that have been fixed upstream,
* We should not be reproducing in sagelib any tests that are part
of an upstream package,
* We should avoid string equality where possible in sagelib tests,
In other words,
* We should not be going out of our way to break compatibility.
That alone will go quite far, and whatever it gets us is acceptable.
