Very much so. However, running such regressions would be technically impossible
with the current test infrastructure, with the possible exception of the 0day
build tests. Even the 0day build tests, given the number of "incomplete test"
results I am seeing lately, may have reached its limits.

Such regressions are discovered because there is now automated testing.
A couple of years ago, stable trees would not even build for anything
but major architectures. However, that only means that all the other
regressions (the ones more subtle than "it builds and boots, therefore
it works") are not discovered. It does not mean that there are no such
regressions.
