Steve Dower <steve.do...@python.org> added the comment:

I like this, though I don't like using the platform module here and would 
prefer sys.platform to be canonical (until there's a need to differentiate - 
e.g. some tests coming for Windows ARM32 will need to be more specific).

In general, I'd like fewer tests to be platform specific and make more 
functionality "just work" across platforms, or at least platform families. I 
feel like more precise skips don't actually help with that - they make it too 
easy to say "this functionality just doesn't work here" instead of trying to 
make it work.
