1219434 - Change XP tests so they only run on try if explicitly chosen (like OSX 10.10, currently)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[Jonathan Griffin (:jgriffin)]

This should free up some capacity on XP slaves so we can repurpose some of them to Windows 7, in order to be able to stand up e10s tests there.

Was this change announced at all, e.g. on dev-platform? (If so, I missed it.... if not, that might've been a helpful thing; maybe consider it for similar changes in future.)
