Right. I tend to look at the list of "All regressions" for that reason. I
have also bookmarked about 20 PRs that I'm likely to work on. It does not
come as a surprice to me that one size doesn't fit all. The list of "Serious
regressions" just gives you a peek over the release manager's shoulders. I
use it mainly as an indication of how far away regressions only mode is.
