The problem here is we have a number of different things we put in TestExpectations; some of these—the actual expectations—are mutually exclusive ( Pass / Failure / Crash / Timeout / etc.), but some of these are modifiers that adjust how (or if) the test is run: Skip / WontFix / Slow / DumpJSConsoleLogInStdErr / Rebaseline.

At least to me, it seems sensible to allow the modifiers to be inherited separately to the expectations, though I believe we also rely on them _not_ being inherited today (Pass overriding Skip, for example).

If we _do_ inherit modifiers separately we probably need some way to negate them and go back to the default state.
