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
