I think britney already can track regressions, it does that for piuparts
tests at least.

intrigeri brought up another interesting angle on this:

currently (un)reproducibility bugs are are of severity normal, so it
seems a bit premature to block or even delay testing migrations because
of that. if however we treated regressions as important bug, than maybe
we should treat *all* new important bugs as delaying migrations at
least. say each new important bug would/could delay migrations by 2 days.

what do you think?
