Maybe such things get worked out case-by-case, though I'm still
worried about gradual erosion (lots of changes cause a few new
regressions here and there and everyone blames "latent bugs").
That's why I agree that it's critical to get an independent person with
global knowlege of the compiler to *agree* that a change encountered a
latent bug before taking the approach of considering leaving it in.
