Chromium port has made a significant effort into matching scrollbar/color
with Mac port to mitigate this issue. Maybe you can talk to one of our
friendly contributors and get some help in reducing the number of baselines
you need to check in.

I don't intend to claim that you're obligated to do this but if you check in
a lot of port-specific baselines, then you're very likely end up having to
rebaseline hundreds of tests each day to catch up with new changes landed in
trunk. This is a very tedious job and people from other ports spend a
significant engineering time into this.
