On a larger note, while I think all these safeguards may have had a place at one time, I'm wondering whether we can't simplify things at least a bit... maybe at least have all the test suites share a client API version so we don't have to change umpteen files? Since those are tested anyway, I think i'd be ok with them sharing that variable, or maybe even pulling it from client.py. The ones in client, PM and UM should probably remain, though I'd be open to suggestions on why it's time for them to go too.

Not your job to fix that Rich, just thinking out loud because the overhead for the api versions is larger than we might like.

I debated that in the past, and concluded that one possible advantage of the current approach is that it, in theory, it makes it easy to find and update those unit tests that depend upon the api. However, I could see either way being acceptable.
