Hello WebKit, Some time ago I wrote a patch that would make the test runners detect baseline that had been generated with the --ignore-metrics flag, see https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94815 . This makes it possible to generate baselines that would always be testing ignoring metrics, and which would help consolidate more expected results between platforms - see the second patch in the bug for an example of that.
The cases I expect this to make sense in, are tests for css selectors, parsing and other places the final layout is not part of what is being tested. Ideally such new tests should be written using dumpText, but we have many old test- cases that has not been written that way, and many more that are imported from from external test suites which never will be. Should we apply the patch and start using ignore-metric baselines, and should we make some guidelines for what kind of tests this should be allowed on?
