Mistakes are human. Certainly a lot of bugs slip through, and that's understandable, software is hard.

That being said, I find that people tend to take the no regression rule pretty seriously, if you bring a valid complaint. It makes good sense. We don't want to give people a reason to stay on old kernels even more than they do today (this post written on an ancient Android kernel, chock full of out of tree drivers). We can at least save people from pain when it comes to in-tree drivers.

I think we really all benefit from that policy. Even if it sometimes keeps some less than perfect workarounds in the code
