> We do not regress

This made me laugh, then cry. I regularly hit kernel regressions in functionality (e.g. worked and now doesn't) in both my personal and professional/work systems. Sadly, the components are not niche drivers, it's things like ath9k, i915, iwlwifi, alsa (and several drivers there), etc. The kernel desperately needs more testing than just a handful of developers dog fooding it before calling it 'good.'

Also, if you find a kernel regression, be sure not to create a workaround in your userland application. The gods might get angry with you.
