Old no-one-cares have a lower ID than new ones. So if you start with the list backwards you should always get the newer ones. Also, PRs that are regressions for 4.3 only cannot be that old (but perhaps they are no-one-cares). On the other hand, there are around 1003 PRs UNCONFIRMED. Those are annoying. > Maybe it is just me, but I find it very annoying to have to wade > through long bug lists, so I just don't do this.

Well, perhaps instead of 2 lists: Serious regressions and All regressions. We should have 3 lists: High priority, Medium Priority, Low priority. High priority is the same as Serious regressions, Medium are P4 and P5 and Low priority are those that you just described (P6?). Anyway, I don't typically look at those lists. I create my own customized searches and save them. Cheers, Manuel.
