It should be that you target 20 bug fixes for each new regression that
you add.

Since you are just sending clean ups, every bug you introduce sets us
further and further back.  There is no hope for improving the kernel
because you are not even trying to fix 20 bugs, only introducing them.

Once you fix 20 bugs, then you will be even and you can start sending
cleanups again.  This is fair.
