Not true. Even for the regressions that are still open it's currently 276 bisected vs. 99 not bisected, and Alexandre said about 90% of opened regressions get fixed.
Moreover, often users get asked 'does reverting commit xxxx' help? Without performing a proper regression test it's impossible to asnwer that question.
Reverting a commit in the latest git is just 1 round of patch+configure+make+run, and reverting to the commit before it in the binary repository is just one git command. Why would you need a "proper regression test"?
