I know, but a bug that is not present in 2.6.19 is a regression. ;-)

More seriously, I know it's a bit borderline to talk about a regression, 
but I think listing things like crashes or compile errors in new 
functionality makes sense - especially in such cases where it's about 
tracking that a patch doesn't miss 2.6.20.
