Description

These text files are often out of date and not always clear about how they get used. We should delete these all and just use cargo-semver-checks.

I believe release-plz runs this but only on Linux, we need to check all Tier 1 and (maybe?) Tier 2 platforms.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the libc-test/semver/*.txt files and the repository's release-plz configuration. Check how cargo-semver-checks is currently run and whether it covers Linux only, then determine the required Tier 1 and possibly Tier 2 platforms. Done means the obsolete text files are removed and semver checks run across the agreed platforms.
