Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Just linking to some previous discussions and comments on the `Tested PHP`
 header:
 * https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2952#comment:5

 Some thoughts on the naming:

 * `Requires at least` is
 [https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/wordpress.org/public_html
 /wp-content/plugins/plugin-directory/readme/class-
 parser.php?rev=10042#L123 actually an alias] for `Requires`.
 * `Tested up to` is also an alias for `Tested`.

 Since the `Requires PHP` header is based on the shorter name (and not
 `Requires at least PHP`), it seems that `Tested PHP` would be more
 consistent with the existing naming (as opposed to `Tested up to PHP`, for
 example).

 The Plugin Directory UI can of course display that as "Tested up to PHP"
 for clarity, like on the screenshot above.
