While I agree regressions are bad, this isn't the usual process. If it were, then I wouldn't bother filing bugs, but merely back out the offending change. There is some kind test for whether the regression costs more than the improvements made, but it comes down to a judgement call from the module owner AIUI. > Regressions that sit in the tree make it dramatically much harder to > write and test other patches.

Some kind of policy or guidelines would be helpful, or it could well get out of control. Backouts usually cause regressions too. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
