This is option of course. The question for me is what is bigger hassle?
Try to migrate as many libraries as we can to minitest5 in some
reasonable time or proactively introduce minitest4 version?

We can try to upgrade minitest to version 5 and if that proves, that it
causes more issues then it solves, then we can do review for
rubygem-minitest4.

Also note that no matter what we will do, there will always be available
the rubygem-minitest subpackage provided by Ruby's SRPM. So may be
explicitly specifying the version < 5 could be enough?
