Quite a few are more like "misfeature fixes": they improve Emacs in
case that indeed there _is_ a useful fix. But on some of those, the
jury more or less is out, and the attempts to improve things don't
lead to a satisfactory situation before several iterations. I think
we should really stop trying to improve things now that have not
gotten worse since 21.4.
The only exception I think reasonable is for features that now default
to "on", like font lock mode. But other than that, "no regression"
should be sufficient for starting pretest.
