Except for the obvious typo, capitalization and missing full stop I'm fine with this definition. I take 'programs' to mean applications that users would actually want to use with Wine, not Wine's tests.
So maybe the definition could be a bit more explicit:
| Bugs relating to applications (excluding Wine's tests) that were | working at one time but stopped working for some reason.
It should be clarified that the application stopped working due to a change in Wine, not something external. For instance if the test case was broken by a Windows update that's clearly not a regression.
So unlike me you're arguing there are cases where the regression keyword can apply to Wine's test cases?
What's the use case?
Use case is the same as with any application: if the breakage is caused by a change in Wine source, i.e. a regression test could be performed, and the Regression SHA1 field could be set as a result.
