Uh, more of that "logic".

It is a patch but not really, if it is applied, good, if not, also good.
WTF dude?

Well, let's see: imagine you're a maintainer. You get gazillion patches
a day. And you think, oh well, I need to review and possibly apply this.
And then move on to the next one. Because everyone is asking, when is
she/he going to apply my damn patches...

But nooo, *some* of the patches are special - they're a conversation
starter *only*! But also if applied, that's fine too.

What a bunch of bull!

What's wrong with sending a mail tagged with "[REGRESSION]" - this looks
like the tag people have adopted - and explain what the problem is, what
you've bisected it to and what your observations are? Like everyone else
reporting bugs/regressions/...
