I came across a regression in the Linux kernel; the EDID override mechanisms in the drm subsystem are broken from 4.15 to 5.2 rc2 (also fixed in the stable releases). I can only conclude that Linux in 2017 didn't have adequate testing for the EDID override mechanism, otherwise the rework that broke this wouldn't have caused the issue.

Yes, that's correct. If the testing was perfect, the bug wouldn't have occurred in the first place. Which is pretty generally applicable.
