All,

Just a heads up... we're still seeing more regressions occurring than we 
really should.

Although we can't expect authors to predict how other authors might 
modify their code into the future [1], I think the common factors we can 
improve on are:

  * More manual testing of merge proposals - would have found many of 
the regressions we're seeing before they landed.

  * Smaller merge proposals - allows for higher quality, more carefully 
considered code reviews.
