This (never rebaseline tests for any platform in that changeset) may not be
possible depending on circumstances. For example, I do my dev work on MBP
Retina, which produces different baselines than the platforms used for mac
test bots. As a result, I sometimes have no choice but to land a changeset
without a new baseline and then use garden-o-matic after-the-fact to land a
new baseline.

Or do you have an alternative in mind that would work in my case? Note that
it really isn't practical for me to ask another dev to build my patch
before landing in order to provide me a new baseline that i can add to the
patch.
