They need to be tested individually, though. E. g. for new key
mappings it can happen that a laptop which previously had non-working
keys suddenly freaks out because it additionall needs a
"force-release" kernel quirk. Or a modem doesn't work with the
previous kernel, etc.

So someone would need to pick out some, confirm that they work in a
previous release, and mark the bug as applicable to
karmic/jaunty/whatever.
