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.
