[Regression Potential]
[TBD]
* discussion of how regressions are most likely to manifest as a result of
this change.
* It is assumed that any SRU candidate patch is well-tested before
upload and has a low overall risk of regression, but it's important
to make the effort to think about what ''could'' happen in the
event of a regression.
* This both shows the SRU team that the risks have been considered,
and provides guidance to testers in regression-testing the SRU.
