The only potentially tricky thing here is figuring out what the platform modifiers mean for non-Chromium ports, e.g. I imagine Qt will want similar modifiers to Chromium (mac, linux, win, debug, release, etc). But I think the difficulty here is more in getting the python code right than agreeing on what the correct behavior is. Also, currently the test_expectations.txt format requires either a bug number or a bug(ojan) entry. Would that be OK with you too? It has proven really good historically for keeping track of why a test was added to the file and for keeping track of getting the tests fixed (or, more importantly, having someone responsible for following up on it), but we could easily restrict this requirement to the Chromium expectations file if other ports dislike it. I think with those three things and https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86796 addressed, then the formats will be unified and the only thing to bikeshed over is the filename. :) Ojan
