I've been programming in Java since Java 1.1.8 and I hazily recall several regression problems under Sun's stewardship. My gut feeling is that the rate of regressions in Java updates has remained steady.
If the rate has increased significantly under Oracle's stewardship, this is something I'd like to write about in my Java newsletter.
Do you have some statistics to demonstrate that regressions have become substantially worse since Oracle took over Java? I'd happily acknowledge you as a source!
