I'm talking about the problem of having a large set of tests with a small

What percentage of the intermittently-failing tests are tests for web
features vs. tests for our UI or other Firefox-specific things, I
wonder? It may be that the set of tests that would be shareable with
other browsers is more reliable on average than the set of tests we
have that are not relevant to other browsers.
Also, the fact that a test fails intermittently in Gecko doesn't
necessarily imply that it will also fail intermittently in other
browsers; these failures often point to actual Gecko bugs, rather than
test issues.
