Hi all,

For web-platform-test, it seems some people still update manifest.json
manually, instead of running "--manifest-update" mach command. Running
"--manifest-update" assures the manifest to be in lexicographic order;
however, manually updating manifest may sometimes accidentally add test
info into a disordering place. Whenever we're in this disorder issue, we'll
have to create an extra patch to fix this (like [1]). Doing so takes
additional effort for both developers and reviewers, which should be
avoidable. Therefore, I would like to see more people use --manifest-update
instead of updating manifest manually.

BTW, if you find lots of unrelated gunk added to manifest after updating,
probably you've encountered *Bug 1259775*
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1259775> as well. This should
only happen after adding reftest files, and a work around is mentioned in
[2].
