Do you think that a significant number of regressions marked as open against
3.3 are now fixed? If so, we can do another pass and try to mark as many

It would certainly seem that the introduction of a new parser should be
destabilizing, and looking at regressions may provide a distorted picture
since they will not show all the new bugs.
