 ## Submitting changes
 
-When fixing a bug, please write a regression test in a separate commit before
-your fix. Demonstrate that the regression test fails and that your fix lets it
-succeed. Obviously, the regression test must be reasonable, demonstrate a real
-issue (however minor), and must not itself contain hacks solely designed for
-the purposes of making the old code fail and the new one succeed. Feel free to
-ask for help writing regression tests.
