           Summary: Mac should not use a text_expectations file until it
                    is ready to fully move over to it
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified

The combination of Skipped / text_expectation files that is being used by NRWT on Mac is

1. Confusing. Should something go on the Skipped list or in the text_expectations file?
2. More places to look to figure out why some test is or isn't running, is or isn't expected to fail, etc.
3. Difficult to deal with when it comes to WK2 and Windows. NRWT doesn't work on Apple Win yet. That means that everything that we want Skipped for WK2 already has to go in the Skipped list.

We should stop using that file until we are ready to switch over to it entirely.
