Hi Greg -

We track each branch separately and since linux-4.16.y is new, this was
the first build. But, we tested 4.16 release on our mainline tracking
branch (along with all the RCs and such before release). We have been
testing all along, it just doesn't show up here because this is a new
git branch and new qa-reports 'project'.

In any case, we review all test failures to identify any issues, on all
LTS branches, stable, mainline, and next. So, regardless of whether or
not qa-reports identifies something as a 'regression', we'll notice it.

Hope that helps,
Dan
