They need to be tested individually, though. E. g. for new key mappings it can happen that a laptop which previously had non-working keys suddenly freaks out because it additionall needs a "force-release" kernel quirk. Or a modem doesn't work with the previous kernel, etc. So someone would need to pick out some, confirm that they work in a previous release, and mark the bug as applicable to karmic/jaunty/whatever.
