+The general idea sounds good.
+But that would make a pretty big wiki page, if we especially if we include big 
+apps like LibreOffice & Postgresql.
+Maybe link each bigger app to a standing bugz report for that purpose ?
+It would be pretty hard to make even close to complete regression tests for 
+bigger apps as well.  (imagine 599 tests for LibreOffice ...)
