But, you can regression test a lot of other things, and having a default test suite that is constantly being added to and always being run before releases (that test hardware agnostic stuff) could help cut down on the number of regressions in new releases. You can't test everything this way, nor should you, but you can test many things, and adding a bit of formal testing to the release procedure wouldn't be a bad thing IMO.
