> basic definition of 'regression' According to Linus: THE KERNEL NOT GIVING THE SAME END RESULT WITH THE SAME USER SPACE According to Wikipedia: A software regression is a software bug that makes a feature stop functioning as intended after a certain event (for example, a system upgrade, system patching or a change to daylight saving time).
