Comment:

 > Update the version used for the baseline tests each major version.

 This probably makes the most sense. Gutenberg updates the baseline version
 regularly as well.

 > Set the PHP version used by performance tests to the current recommended
 version, rather than the latest version.

 That sounds reasonable to me.

 > Run benchmarks using independent environments rather than changing the
 WP version on the same install between tests.

 That probably negates the whole point of the baseline comparison as the
 tests are no longer running on the same environment.
