I think this is a great addition, but shouldn't the canary bots have had
just as
much of a chance of catching this issue?  Why didn't they catch it?  Is it
b/c
of flakiness?  If so, then try bots won't help that much.

What I think we need to do is beef up the canary bots so that they provide
equivalent coverage to the mainline Chromium bots.  This will be essential
if we ever wish to roll WebKit less often (once per week say), which will
only
really be possible once we have the WebKit API.
