True, though I don't know that gps' proposal would solve that either.

But this is a good idea, and is easy to solve from a technical standpoint.
We'd just need to agree on some standard manifest keys:

[test_foo.html]
skip-if = <condition>
reason = {'intermittent', 'fail', ... }
bugs = 1234567, 1234576

When we log the skip, we make sure this metadata makes it into the
structured log. Then tools like ActiveData or a manifest parsing mach
command can query it. Reftest and wpt complicate matters a bit, but we
could figure out something similar for them.
