Create two documents explaining various aspects around regression handling and tracking; one is aimed at users, the other targets developers. The texts among others describes the first rule of Linux kernel development and what it means in practice. They also explain what a regression actually is and how to report one properly. Both texts additionally provide a brief introduction to the bot the kernel's regression tracker uses to facilitate the work, but mention the use is optional. To sum things up, provide a few quotes from Linus in the document for developers to show how serious we take regressions.

The Linux kernel user's and administrator's guide
|
|
=================================================
|
|
|
|
The following is a collection of user-oriented documents that have been
|
|
added to the kernel over time. There is, as yet, little overall order or
|
|
organization here — this material was not written to be a single, coherent
|
|
document! With luck things will improve quickly over time.
|
|
|
|
This initial section contains overall information, including the README
|
|
file describing the kernel as a whole, documentation on kernel parameters,
|
|
etc.
