Comment (by soulseekah):

 `PHPUnit_Util_Test` has indeed always been used for the `getTickets`
 method, which in turn uses `parseTestMethodAnnotations` from
 `PHPUnit\Util\Test`. It is, thus, safe to remove the inheritance.

 However, PHPUnit 7 introduces return type hinting, which is only available
 in PHP 7.0+. One such method, for example is
 `WP_UnitTestCase::assertFalse` which now hints at returning a `void`. The
 only way I know of to handle this in both 7.0+ and older versions is to
 copy the class into a PHP7+ version and load it dynamically. This is not
 going to fly, especially seeing that PHPUnit6 is more than okay for the
 time being.
