Comment (by ayeshrajans):

 Hi @desrosj - thanks for the feedback.
 PHP Compatibility tests are without-doubt helpful, and my thoughts behind
 ignoring the whole directory was that PHPMailer itself is a well-tested
 library that promises good backwards compatibility and semver.

 Would it be a good middle ground if we were to ignore specific PHP Compat
 test failures? So we would move the inline ignore clauses to the XML file.
 That way, CI would still fail if there is a new regression during an
 update, so we still benefit from PHP Compat without having to manually
 cherry-pick hunks for each update.
