That's not sufficient. You need to find versions in between the lowest tested 
version and the current version to also make sure you don't end up with 
breakage. You might have somepackage that has a lower version of 2.0.1 and a 
current constraint of 2.12.3. You might even have a blacklist of versions in 
between those two versions, but you still need other versions to ensure that 
things in between those continue to work.

THe tiniest of accidental incompatibilities can cause some of the most bizarre 
bugs.
