No it doesn't include so many people... there is a specific package
maintainer who has responsibility for a package.. and at the very least
should check if something basic like starting mailman or inserting an optical

No, regressions have little to do with hardware... the hardware is a

Murphy will ensure that regressions can and will continue to happen .. but
they should not happen for such basic functionality.
And there is no reason to justify such regressions.
What next justify the security issues on Windows because MS Employees are

PS: I have no idea if the DVD is issue is a regression or not ... I just don't
think trying to justify it is the right attitude.
