We’ve had many flaky crashes and assertion failures where they could happen on any test yet share the same cause. In such a case, adding [ Crash Pass ] test expectation to all tests is not a good idea because we want to detect crashes of other kinds on those tests especially when the said crash or assertion failure could happen on any test. Proposal: We could ignore a crash or an assertion failure based on its stack trace (i.e. signature). It’ll allow us to ignore a particular type of crash without jeopardizing our ability to detect other more reproducible crashes.

I'd rather we just try to fix the crashes/assertions (even blindly).
