Aiming for no regressions is a worthy aim, but I believe unachieveable in a project of any size. For sure it's impossible if there is ever a need to make large-scale infrastructural changes, which inevitably is occasionally the case if the project is to live a long time. For example, if the dyngen/gcc-based backend is replaced by a self-contained handwritten one, I would be amazed if there were not a few obscure regressions whilst the new backend is brought up to the same level of stability as the current one. At least, that is what I know from my own code generator hacking.
