There has been a node refactoring plan [1], and we’ve migrated almost a half of build scripts to support compatibilities with node platform.
I didn’t see any significant issues if we run build system on node instead of xpcshell. Some resolvable issues I know such as finding an alternative DOMParser for node since l20n scripts doing DOM modifications a lot. I’ve submitted a patch for jsdom to support template.content [2] so that we are able to embrace jsdom for our DOMParser on node. Gaia has several node-executor (raptor, marionettejs, build system...) base on node may depend on different node versions. Thus, CI servers should be able to switch node versions for each case.
