[webkit-dev] Cleaning House

[Brent Fulgham]

Hi folks,

I definitely do not want to see the EWS system go away. But in the short term , I would be in favor of manual commits and manual testing.

We still have the build bots running tests, so it's not like we lose all coverage.

Thanks,

-Brent

When Mac/Win tests were turned on recently, it resulted in huge backups on those EWS bots, and eventually having tests disabled.

We need to keep the Chromium/v8 port building, and maintain its test results, until we have alternate sources for that stuff. If that's the consensus, I'll restore the cr-linux and cr-linux-x86 test results.
