So I understand what you mean, but it does sound odd with that
"Current release - always broken" thing not being a regression. The
"always broken" makes it sound like it's some old broken code that has
never worked, which it clearly isn't.

Maybe rephrase it as "new code bugs" or something? You've done that
before ("bugs in new features").

I left it alone in the merge message, since we've had that pattern of
speech before, but for some reason I reacted to it this time.
