It's sort of natural to take that as "I need to > reply telling people it's fixed if it is but can remain silent if > nothing changed". The exact wording is "The following bug entry is on the current list of known regressions from 2.6.25. ?Please verify if it still should be listed." > Being more explicit about liking a reporter to report "yes, nothing > changed" would probably be good if that IS what's wanted. Well, I can change it to "Please verify if it still should be listed and let me know." if that's better.
