I think either you misunderstood my question, or I am misunderstanding
your answer. I'm not asking "who", I'm asking "what" ...

If we know some tests are failing, and when we fix a bug the tests
will start passing again (but that patch might not land for quite some
time), what should we (anyone) do in the meantime? Leave the tree red,
land "incorrect" -expected baselines so that we can catch changes in
behavior, or add lines to TestExpectations? Many of the lines you
cited fell into the last category.
