Addendum: remember that any breakage in the regression tests is a
Critical issue.  So if this was an important fix or new feature,
then the programmer should have added a regtest, and any breakage
in that regtest would be a critical bug regardless of any text
like "regression against a fix developed for this version".

It's probably worth adding something about regtest breakage to the
policy.
