I don't see much benefit if we add additional layer to this fallback path, but does see there is maintenance cost (either through rebaseline tool or manually update baselines) introduced by this extra location. Like I said, if we have this extra layer and baselines for all three platforms are same, the baseline is added to platform/chromium, then if the baseline for any platform changes, not only you need to add/update the baseline for that location, you may also need to update the other platforms and remove the file from platform/chromium. I don't mean we could not do this in rebaseline tool or manually rebaselining, but think this makes our rebaseline process more complicated and the benefit by adding this extra layer is not much.

By that logic, we should not have linux fall back on the win baselines for the same reason, right?

Also, if that's the case, we need to move all the baselines out of platform/chromium to avoid further confusion.
