Locating regressions for 4.3

I've started looking over the bug list for 4.3, and closing some that I
know are now invalid (like kcc bugs before the rewrite, or in the
internal winbind).

However, what also struck me was that none of the bugs I found so far
are actual regressions.

Therefore, while I have filed a new bug for 4.4 blockers, and I was
going to start filling it up, I'm thinking that will just be a waste of
time. 

Instead, I propose we:
Retitle https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10695 as 'reviewed
bugs', or us the review flag on those bugs to mark it as having been
vetted in some way.

I have opened a new bug for regressions at 
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11406 but I would rather we
just tagged bugs as regressions in the importance. 

Regardless, we need to use searches, not blocker bugs, as the way to
deal with the actually blocking list, and we need to start from zero,
not the pushed-forward list.  For example, while there are many,
legitimate and important issues, I've not yet seen an AD DC bug in that
list that is an actual regression.

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
