+        # About the "extensions":
+        #
+        # In a "normal" test run, the "default" extension set for a PHP version is used
+        # and it is ensured that certain extensions will be available, no matter what.
+        #
+        # For the "minimal" test run, all extensions are disabled and then only
+        # a limited set of minimally required extensions are re-enabled.
+        # The minimal set is based on the required extensions from PHPUnit + PHPMailer combined
+        # + Curl for Composer.
+        # Whether Xdebug will be enabled depends on the code coverage settings.
