Well, my experience is that if you really take care to not change any 
thing (no upgrade of nothing) during the build cycle time (6/8 months) 
you end to know where the false positives happen and are able to manage 
the tests more quickly and with more confidence. I have run the tests on 
almost every OOo releases these two last years under windows and linux 
(and have been very proud to find serious bugs ;-) I can go on on the 
same way I did for the next releases and see if it makes sense or not. 
So no need to have a dedicated repository for the reports currently.

Kind regards
Sophie
