edmorley: for bug 798219, are we disabling dromaeojs on xp completely, or just dromaeo_css? if the latter, I'm guessing best approach is to make another suite 'dromaeojsxp' and have the settings passed for that not include dromaeo_css? (and then update tbpl to recognise the new suite)
jmaher: I am thinking disabling dromaeo_css, but we might want to consider disabling the entire suite
edmorley: the latter would avoid having to update tbpl/trychooser (and save some resources, seeing as we don't seem to care about xp as much, win7/win8 seem representative of it), but happy to do whichever you prefer

This will require TBPL/trychooser updates.

Option B: Disable dromaeojs

Given no-one has stepped forwards to say either way, we should go with this option for now.

I want :bz to weigh in on the final word here.  :bz, any objections to not running these dromaeo tests on xp as we have win7 and win8 coverage which both follow the same trends, noise patterns, and general results.

I can live with that, I think.
