Yes, yes, normally it would argue the other way around. :-D

But Linus a few times in one way or another argued that time is a factor
when it comes to regressions. Here for example:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=wis_qQy4oDNynNKi5b7Qhosmxtoj1jxo5wmB6SRUwQUBQ@mail.gmail.com/

But there are no "semantic changes that now mean that fixing the
regression could cause a _new_ regression" here I guess. And what he was
talking about there is quite different from this case as well (I vaguely
remember a better example, but I can't find it; whatever).

In the end this is one of issue where I don't care much. :-D

Ciao, Thorsten
