The problem is that packagers don't know about these regressions when
they visit https://curl.se/download.html so it will automatically get
pushed into many distros. For the same reason, many of us are dealing
with several with problems in libcurl 8.7.1 which is the production
version on MacOS for this year because it was the latest "stable" when
apple updated their OS stack. However it had several known
regressions.

Perhaps it could be discussed to consider a policy in the future to
officially mark regressed releases as such.
