Generally yes, it's something that has been found in an rc or should block an 
upcoming rc. What exactly constitutes a regression is complicated though - in 
this case FreeBSD is not a platform that we really support. We accept 
contributions and changes which help to make Asterisk work there but we don't 
test on it and can end up accidentally breaking it.
