I also agree.

NOTE: I am willing to get setup as a regression tester running V2. IIUC, 
this would be a case of running regression.py instead of the custom v1/v2 
script I am currently using.

I have a few questions:
*  is it okay to upload the V2 results to the metacomm regression results 
area?
*  where are the docs for setting up regression.py/getting started?
*  is it possible to cycle through different toolsets, i.e. msvc one day, cw 
the next?
*  is it possible to run though the V1 tests with a given toolser and then 
the V2 tests with the same toolset and upload the results together, so you 
would have (for example) msvc/V1 and msvc/V2?
*  is there a way to label the specific toolset results as V2/cw-9.2?
