Add additional quotes from Linus while trimming the existing ones and sorting them all into categories. That makes it easier for new developers and maintainers to look up how Linus expects certain situations wrt regressions to be handled. The earlier sections in the document already explain this, but those parts are often questioned -- or not considered authoritative at all and plainly ignored. Having it straight from the horse's mouth helps get everyone on the same page, even if that makes the document quite a bit longer (the raw line count of this section doubles, but the number of characters increases by nearly 50%). In return, this covers a lot more aspects and, due to the sub-headings, is easier to navigate. In contrast to the more neutral description in the early sections of the document, this also provides a better insight into how serious Linus is about the "no regressions" rule and how he wants it to be interpreted in practice; this makes it easier for new developers and maintainers to understand things and prevent run-ins with higher-level maintainers.
