How can you have a regression in stable if stable has the bug already? A regression is when you have a stable package with a bug, then you introduce a new stable package that doesn't have that bug, and then you introduce yet another new stable package that has the same bug back again. While I can see some value in tracking whether bugs have made it to stable yet, I think we need better tools if we want to do that. Otherwise it is a big housekeeping mess tracking what is and isn't in stable yet. I see the value when we're talking about security bugs, or very critical bugs, but for the run-of-the-mill minor issues that are the majority of bug reports I don't see the value in keeping bugs open for a month or two just to track that the inevitable hasn't happened yet.
