Sounds like that would fit

I think regressions should always be a thing to fix, not just
at time of a release.
Doing it just at a release will make the whole more entangled
and then when there are 30 issues one wants to fix and time for
only fixing 10 the fixes will be worse and people would skip
writing fate tests as thats the easiest to skip when time is
short
