Not good if it lowers the coverage, but hopefully that's fixable. Have you analyzed where we're reducing coverage..? As for what I'm remembering, there's this: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/5669acd9-efdc-2a0f-afea-10ba6003a...@dunslane.net Of course, it's possible I misunderstood.. That seems focused on upgrading and I'd really like to see a general way to do this with the TAP structure, specifically so we can test pg_dump and psql against older versions. Having the ability to then be run under the coverage testing would be fantastic and would help a great deal with the coverage report. Thanks! Stephen
