Well said.

Also it seems that we haven't had a need to alert for serious bugs that
often ;-). Certainly this particular one is not a "serious" bug, but
merely a failure in tutorial documents at most.

I am however worried about the rate we see minor regressions on 'master'
post 1.7.5, which seems to suggest that people on this list are getting a
bit complacent than they should be and perhaps not testing 'next' but are
on 'master'.

The promise of 'master' always being more stable than any released version
depends on competent testers and users using the 'next' version for their
day to day work.

Thanks.
