The issue was with me having the board meeting at the same time. The
only day with no meeting currently for me is Tuesday, so maybe we could
move it later that day?

I agree, but some implementation need major refactoring where
regressions can't be avoid. It's a balance between the two and also a
sprint on finding them before a release.

That should be the same, and I personally think it's the same, ESC
meeting are one of the way, regression tests, Jan mentoring are others
and so on. No regression is introduced by purpose, it's a closed work
between QA and development and a rush before a release.

Recruiting more testers at alpha and beta stages are imho the most
important part to reduce those regressions. Unfortunately MozTrap
doesn't get enough love from testers and we have few participants during
BH sessions. If we address both, that should solve part of the problem.
