Additionally, platform field isn't the same as a prefix. A prefix promises that 
there are no changes in cross platform code, suggesting that core developers 
can safely skip the bug in review queue.

Cross-platform changes for platform specific bugs are sometimes valid, but 
should get more scrutiny. Dave Levin filed a bug about this today, 
<https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69462> check-webkit-style: Should 
catch when folks mistakenly put [chromium], etc. in a bug title.
