   Submissions must pass all [regression test cases](Debugging.md).

+   When fixing a defect in the code, submitters should have a general
+   understanding of the root cause of that defect, and the fix should
+   target that root cause.
+
   Code submissions should not contain excessive debugging code,
   debugging options, nor run-time debug logging.
