okay, bugzilla's collisions on comments are really annoying (again!) ..

(In reply to comment #2)
> I'm OK with chromium-mac still taking its circuitous route through mac-*, that's fine.  But it makes no sense for chromium-linux to fallback through mac IMO. :)

In the data I posted on that thread, chromium-linux pulled > 1000 .txt and > 1000 .png's from the mac directory :) Again, maybe the numbers have changed and we should probably look again.

The fact that it is "best practice" to check in expected failures on the non-Chromium ports certainly can aggrevate this, and perhaps it makes sense to remove platform-mac from the chromium tree given this behavior (although being able to distinguish platform-specific pass from platform-specific failure would definitely help here).

As JamesR notes, there is also the fact that chromium runs the tests in platform/mac :). I have argued that we should be skipping those, though.
