Yes they do.

The issues until now were not that a file format change was required but 
were unintentional.
When we will have a real need to change file format I am sure we can 
agree on adding version and change all parsers.

I am sure you did not mean to, but now I have to admit my limited skills 
in catching bugs by reading patches :-( .
Instead on relying on bug reading I use automatic regression. I wish we 
could agree on some regression that
each developer will have to run before patches are committed to the trunk.
On my side I would love to have an automatic way to include all the 
patches posted (one at a time) run "dead or alive" check
and provide feedback. Currently my automation is limited to testing the 
trunk. So I will always be complaining after the patches are
committed. I think this is the way most other components testing works.

What kind of regression suite do you and Sasha use?
Can we agree on minimal pre-commit testing?
Can we have a branch for that sake where all patches will first have to 
go into for 2 days? (it will allow for pre-trunk testing).
