i’ve been following along the [swift-testing](https://github.com/apple/swift-testing) package, and had been able to depend on it up to version 0.3.0.

but it looks like support for swift 5.9 was [dropped](https://github.com/apple/swift-testing/commit/3fa6c43bebbb01e75e56f782fc2b86d93c488d03) in 0.4.0, and based on the commit message, it sounds like even swift 5.10 support is in doubt.

given that swift 5.10 has not been released yet, i found it odd that this package **no longer supports any extant versions of swift**. what was the rationale behind dropping support for 5.9?
