Not necessarily, anything changed gets more rigourous test, (no change
plus no depend change means no test is needed), the longer you leave
it the more there is.  It also get increasingly hard to stop-gap carry
over.  We are facing this now, eg, if BDB screws it's not practical to
carry stuff over from 18 months - it needs fixing.
