Some risks are so low that they're basically negligible. If the 2 options 
are keeping an existing regression (which missed testing) in updates for a 
few more days or risking the off chance that there MAY be another regression 
with a probability of 1 in a million or something in that order of 
magnitude, I'll take the risk any day! If that kind of risk is too high for 
you, I hope you don't ever use a car, it might crash, you know?
