My two cents: I'm not sure whether this is already covered by your
description, but I'd suggest that, for example, an ICE on incorrect
code should not be a blocker, even if it's a regression. One failure
is as good as another for incorrect code, as far as I'm concerned. At
the other end, wrong-code bugs are the scariest for me, since I build
my systems from source. Wrong code can be go undetected and do much
damage over time.
