That is, Thorsten this is more for you, how much real regressions are in

not. Is that number still as high with hardware? Those probably could
be where tests can be focused on.

A relatively common case IME is things that were always bugs but depend
on some external thing to become visible, like someone trying to use a
device in a slightly different way, doing more detailed testing of some
kind or some subsystem change.
