Is there any definition on what these Jira 'Derby Info' flags mean?
Regression
A Derby product regression that is a bug that hopefully will be fixed.
Example DERBY-1459
Existing Application Impact
Any change intentional or otherwise that might affect existing
applications, including bug fixes that have a resonable potential to
impact applications negatively.
A user could query before upgrading to find out what issues might affect
their applications, be it regression or intentional.
All regressions have Existing Application Impact but not all issues
with Existing Application Impact are Regressions.
Example DERBY-721
Pehaps a clearer approach would have been for Existing Application
Impact to be "Intentional Behavior Change" so there is not the overlap.
