I don't understand what you mean by "too old" ?

I guess you mean that it should be *able* to fail on developer machines
*in addition* to cirrusci.
But, a meson-only test might not be so helpful, as it assumes that the
developer is using meson, in which case the problem would tend not to
have occured in the first place.
BTW I also noticed that:
meson.build:meson_binpath_r = run_command(python, 'src/tools/find_meson', check: true)
meson.build-
meson.build-if meson_binpath_r.returncode() != 0 or meson_binpath_r.stdout() == ''
meson.build- error('huh, could not run find_meson.\nerrcode: @0@\nstdout: @1@\nstderr: @2@'.format(
The return code will never be nonzero since check==true, right ?
