Let *me* ask a question.  :)  What level of heavy regression testing would you
*expect* of an open source development team?

We really do try very hard to test all of our changes.  We have community
members that work very hard to help test out the more invasive changes.
Furthermore, we have a lot of people run the code from the release branches
directly so that regressions are caught quicker, and hopefully before they make
it in to a release.

At Digium, we have a department dedicated to doing testing of our products,
including Asterisk.  Every bug that is found as a part of this testing gets
fixed in the open source branches as well.
