Why do packages run continuous integration tests on Julia nightly?

After reading this discussion, I have the same opinion. So I updated the defaults in PkgSkeleton: in 1.2, the default template for Github workflows is

github.com

tpapp/PkgSkeleton.jl/blob/45b9434dbbd6008e9045b0c7007ffabcef3019ef/templates/github/.github/workflows/CI.yml

      matrix:
        version:
          - '1.6' # Replace this with the minimum Julia version that your package supports. E.g. if your package requires Julia 1.9 or higher, change this to '1.9'.
