All tests covered now. Do we go this route, or update the zlib version of the
failing FATE machines?

I would say that requiring an upgrade isn't reasonsble here.

This isn't only about fate.ffmpeg.org, but also about any developer - and user compiling ffmpeg for themselves - to be able to verify that their build is good.

If we go down the "enforce upgrades" path, we pretty much force all users to upgrade or stop using zlib. For still supported, not entirely ancient distributions like Ubuntu 20.04, that seems a bit harsh for something which is mainly an issue with our tests.
But are those distros affected? Which zlib builds are faulty?

I don't remember exactly which versions that are affected (Ramiro pointed it out in some message), but at least Ubuntu 20.04 is affected.
