I wasn't accusing you of being angry or anything. You said there were "regressions" in the firmware. That can mean a few things. Some function has regressed to a previous state or a fix for a bug has been lost and the bug reappears. And in software development terms, "regression testing" is testing that changes made in a version hasn't broken anything that wasn't supposed to be changed. I can't think of anything in the recent firmware that I would call a regression.
But, you listed some things.

Indeed between the 4.2.x and 4.3.x we have :
- empty block on first screen

By "first screen", I assume you mean the home screen, and "block" you mean "tile". I've never seen an empty tile on it. Except maybe some when the database is corrupt and the references in the database is broken.

- network connexion doesn't work
|
The network connection on my Glo fails frequently. That has been going on for a long time and hasn't change for a lot of firmware versions. So I think it is a hardware issue. None of the other devices have any real problems. Sometime they don't connect, but, tapping sync again and it does. That makes it hard to know if is a problem on the device or elsewhere in the network. Again, hasn't changed in any of the firmware versions for me.

- large windows on the second windows of the dictionnary

Sorry, no idea what you mean here.

- the screen refresh does not respect the setting
|
When? I have sat there and counted the page count between screen refreshes. It has never been wrong. There are other ways to trigger the refresh, and that restarts the count.

- sometimes the device turns to sleep mode when we turn pages too quickly

I've never heard of this or seen it. If it is happening, it is a new bug, not a regression (yes, me being nitpicky). Can you point to the discussion on this?

- the light reaches its maximum power in 3 steps and not immediately

I haven't seen this either. But, I'm not sure about the "3 steps", so I'm not sure what it is and when it happens. The light on my Glo no longer works, but the light on my Aura H2O and Glo HD can be controlled to any level without any issue.
None of that is to say there aren't problems. Or that these aren't things you have seen. But, most of them I haven't seen or heard reported. I can't call any of them regressions until I see some more details of what's happening and when they turned up.
