Sorry I don't understand…

… people working from git can (and maybe need to be) running database version

        (latest-release n) + 1

which even the git client will show at login as n+1, as will the git client menu

        Help > About database

Therefore it is seeming to me that setting a minimum version to v16 should not 
prevent testing unless …

is the problem that v16 would not have been frozen until it would be officially 
released, and therefore any hash would be dynamic and (although scriptable) 
might be a pain to continually manage?

In which case we could set the minimum to v16 as part of releasing v16 
officially?
