Hmm, we could do that by marking regressions that we XFAIL with a
keyword in bz, say testsuite-xfail. If it sounds like a good idea then
can someone with bz access add a keyword? I can then come up with a
script to get a report from bz and have it emailed to lic-alpha on a
weekly basis.

I don't disagree, just that I think we need something more than XFAIL.
An xfail weekly spam report ought to bridge that gap.
