I think there's also potentially the problem that we're not giving enough information / direction to the rebaselining, e.g., it can be unclear whether we mean "change the win result and push the old one to linux" or "update the win result; we want linux to get the updated result also". I think the tooling lets you be explicit about this (i.e., we have the right infrastructure) but we may not have the best interface to it and users may not realize the side effects of their actions.

re: "it's impossible to always know what the correct final configuration is" ... I don't quite understand this; assuming all the bots have produced results, and you know which bots are failing and which aren't, you can determine what the correct configuration is, right? So you're saying just one or both of those assumptions might not hold? or am I missing something?
