However, it would be nice if regressions wrt particular programs were 
detected, pinned down to particular patches and *reported* by people who 
are particularly interested in making those programs work. For example, 
people who support WINE installations for their employers or customers.

Other people who are supporting the same applications could benefit from 
that, because they'd know which patches should be removed or fixed.

I've noticed some people already do that, but if the practice described 
above was more widespread, we could end up with fewer regressions, 
easier support and (usually) less work for developers.
