-Please be aware this limitation when you decide to write new tests using reftest.
+Currently, reftests run only with new-run-webkit-tests. That means a patch that is only tested with reftests might not be allowed to be checked in.

Please be aware this limitation and use reftests carefully at your responsibility until reftests are available on all platforms.
 
-See https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34984 for the current status.
+There are on-going efforts that try to run new-run-webkit-tests on all platforms.
