In zsh-syntax-highlighting, when I make a bugfix that depends on
a bugfix in zsh, in the ticket I'd like to say "The fix requires
zsh 5.1.2 or newer".

Sure. But for natural language it might be confusing to refer people to
"5.1.2 and newer" when there's no zsh-5.1.2.tar.gz available for
download...
