There were comments in the code that suggested we need to refactor the approach as well.  I'm open to that, but if this is going to be a large refactoring I'd like to get my tests running first.

My understanding was that mac-future was added as a placeholder for platforms still in development.  Running the layout tests against changes to mac os early on helps us find regressions in underlying code.

We use 

--additional-platform-directory=ADDITIONAL_PLATFORM_DIRECTORY
                        Additional directory where to look for test baselines
                        (will take precendence over platform baselines).
                        Specify multiple times to add multiple search path
                        entries.
--additional-expectations=ADDITIONAL_EXPECTATIONS
                        Path to a test_expectations file that will override
                        previous expectations. Specify multiple times for
                        multiple sets of overrides.

to specify the location of those results and the TestExpectations file.

The bug is that since there is no match for the platform in VERSION_FALLBACK_ORDER the expectations for older platforms don't match configurations.
