May I suggest versioning also the test suite? I mean, giving the test 
suite here:

http://www.lua.org/work/

a name that matches the RC or beta or release version it is intended to 
be applied to. Even if it doesn't change. It would be clearer and it 
won't cause confusion about whether or not the test suite changed.

I mean, e.g.:

lua-5.4.0-rc6-tests.tar.gz

instead of simply:

lua-5.4.0-tests.tar.gz

Moreover, as an added bonus, it will be useful for archiving purposes. 
For example people could have had issues with an RC and a specific suite 
(issues non necessarily caused by Lua). Archiving an RC (or beta, etc.) 
with the corresponding suite could be useful.

Thanks.
