Description
It might be helpful that in the case a rule only applies to a specific (minimum) PowerShell versions as for e.g.:
And new request/issues:
to have the possibility to add that (minimum) PowerShell version (e.g. MininumPowerShellVersion) to that rule.
Meaning e.g. the AvoidUsingWMICmdlet rule might have MininumPowerShellVersion set to 3.0
This would add the possibility for two additional features:
- Suppressing the specific rule by using the
#Requires -Version x.xstatement.
E.g.:- adding
#Requires -Version 2.0would suppress theAvoidUsingWMICmdletrule - adding
#Requires -Version 7.0would allow the use of`e(suppress the proposedUseCompatibleStringsrule)
- adding
- A general
UseRequiresStatementrule when a rule with a minimal version applies and the#Requires -Version x.xis not set (or set incorrectly)
E.g. if any of the rules applies, it generate a warning that the#Requires -Version x.xstatement should be set.

Research direction
Start by reading the AvoidUsingWMICmdlet rule documentation and the linked UseCompatibleStrings, UseCompatibleSyntax, and AvoidNewObjectCmdlet issues. Then trace how rules are represented and how #Requires -Version is handled. Done means the proposed minimum-version behavior, suppression, and UseRequiresStatement behavior have a defined implementation scope.
