 From what I understand from Jon, allowSmartActionArgs is opt-in and has 
to be enabled in the TEST.ROOT file with

     allowSmartActionArgs=true

Therefore, IIRC, the required version could be bumped without enabling 
smart action args.

(I have a patch in progress to use smart action args for langtools 
tests:

HTH,

>   this will affect all the tests which have ${<X>} in their @run directives, for example it will affect many vmTestbase tests which use PropertyResolvingWrapper. therefore, I suggest we bump requiredVersion after we clean up such tests and have filed 8219140[2] to deal w/ vmTestbase tests. I'll check if there are other tests which will be affected and will file RFE(s) to cover them as well.
