[webkit-dev] Subpixel layout - requesting help for big rebaseline

[Dirk Pranke]

The Chromium canaries now exit after 5000 failures or 1000 crashes/timeouts.

Ideally we'd hold off on this change until we can get some sort of a
fix or workaround to https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94665
though (and I'm working on this today), or life might be annoyingly
painful for us.
