            Bug ID: 174876
           Summary: prepare-ChangeLog should not list added layout tests
                    in PAL ChangeLog
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Local Build
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

When a change contains a WebCore change, one or more added layout tests, and a PAL change then prepare-ChangeLog will list the added layout tests in both the WebCore and PAL ChangeLog files. Although platform functionality in PAL may be directly exercised in a layout test I do not get the impression that a layout test can always be used to exercise PAL functionality or at least exercise all edge cases easily. Unit tests seem more appropriate for abstractions in PAL. Therefore, prepare-ChangeLog should not list added layout tests in the PAL ChangeLog.
