The problem is it's not an independent bot - for resource reasons it is an
additional step on all the existing bots, therefore if it goes red, the
main waterfall goes red (and LKGRs and Chromium rolls stop).

This shouldn't be much work - I've tried to make sure all ES6 feature tests
are wildcard blacklisted, so I'm hoping there should be very few (hopefully
no) situations where any additional test skipping is necessary - the tests
have been running on the waterfall for a couple of days and, other than a
few initial flakes which we've now suppressed, have been stable.  This PSA
is meant as a heads up - I'm not thinking this should require any changes
to day-to-day business, if it does let me know and we can try something
else.
