That's my feeling as well. If we knew which checkin caused a P1 regression, there would be considerable "peer pressure" for the person who checked in that patch to fix it. I'm not clear that any "rule" would be stronger. I think the point is that we no longer *know* which checkin caused it in most cases or that it happened so long ago that that information is no longer technically relevant.
