Agreed.

aha, I was confused about 7 Issues vs. 8 Regressions.  ok, this makes
things easier and harder.  One solution is to put all the bug
squad-related regtest discussion in 7, then add links between both
chapters with explanations of what should go where... but this feels
like it's getting icky.  We could probably improve this by
reorganizing these chapters somewhat.

I can't take the time to plan this out myself today, but I'll look at
suggestions tomorrow.

Because when I wrote it, the node called "Compiling LilyPond" *was* 3.
 When the nodes were renamed, nobody checked to see if that renaming
would mess up any existing links.


James: make the website source page link to the top of chapter 3 in
the CG, not 3.5.
