so concerned as you are, you're following the new features page on the
wiki and test the areas they may impact you, don't you? And then test
daily builds to see if your bugs are fixed and there is no
regressions?

So again, if you are concerned by regressions, you should follow what
is
develop and what could have an impact for you. You can even write a
regression test that I can put on our manual tests system. You don't
need to wait for things to happen by themselves.

Yes but paid by whom?

Oh so who's gonna do the work? QA volunteers again will do the work
for
your company...
