I am not a fan of the new definition of a regression.  Yes the new
definition helps out release managers but it does not help out our
users at all.  In fact I think it hurts them more as some don't update
as fast as the release managers think they do.  I still support a 4.3
based GCC and only starting to roll out a 4.7 based GCC.  I think it
is wrong to say memory/compile time hogs are not regressions any more
just for the fun of it.

Also this was not discussed at all on the list or I did not see it
being discussed.  This decision should not be taken lightly when it
comes to some users of the compiler.

Thanks,
Andrew Pinski
