Are these tests that live in the WebKit open source project and have visibility from build.webkit.org?

If not, they should not keep WebKit changes from fixing WebKit regressions.

No. It was found on Chromium build bots.

I think this is WebKit tests doesn't cover this issue and affects other ports.
I hope japhe@ write tests in WebKit.

The Chromium buildbots on the Chromium project should not be allowed to hold up progress of the WebKit project.

If there is a change in WebKit that is undesirable to the Chromium project, the burden is on someone from the Chromium project to construct a test case in WebKit terms that demonstrates why the change is undesirable for WebKit.

Chromium (as represented at the Chromium project) is not a WebKit port but rather a WebKit client.

Do you have evidence that this change directly affected the tests for a WebKit *port* here at webkit.org, as opposed to a WebKit client that is external to the WebKit project?

Again, in this situation, the burden to write a failing test was not on him, but rather was on you (or another representative from the Chromium project).

If you need help constructing a test to submit to a webkit.org bug that shows a problem in the WebKit codebase, please don't hesitate to ask Nate or myself (or anyone in #webkit, really) for help.
