There is also a dedicated regression tracker at work and a policy of fixing regressions which includes Linus locking down the kernel for anything but bug fixes early each release cycle. What makes it work however is people co-operating with the process and also being willing to chase down and work on bugs. What helps a lot is that there are not a large number of people with the strange idea that the kernel is a product and bugzilla is tech support they are somehow entitled to merely because they downloaded it for free.
