Ojan explained to me that the reason we want to do this is "so that people can add NeedsRebaseline lines that conflict with other lines. But that's blocked because the actual rebaseline script strips all the lines for the test being rebaselined, not just the NeedsRebaseline/Rebaseline lines."

I believe we still want to do this.

Alright -- I think that this would become unnecessary if we turn down the rebaseline bot, which we should be able to do after people can rebaseline pending CLs from try jobs ( bug 474273 ).

bugsnash@, OK to mark this as available for now?

Note, in the future we'll want to encourage people not to use NeedsRebaseline, since it's possible to rebaseline using try jobs with `webkit-patch rebaseline-cl`.
