As an independent package or as part of the Ruby package? The minitest
that was shipped with Ruby pre-2.2 was the 4.x series, even though there
the external minitest was already at 5.x.

Annoyingly both test frameworks had backwards incompatible changes
between the versions that were previously in-tree and the now bundled
versions.
