I think some additional forward progress may now have been made. There's some extra IRC discussion of this issue at: http://logs.glob.uno/?c=mozilla%23content&s=17+Mar+2017&e=17+Mar+2017#c430993 In the discussion, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1333433 "Consider making the wpt manifest a product of the build system" was referenced. And as a result of the discussion, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1333433#c8 was logged on trying to use build artifacts to deal with the current 1+ minutes slowness of manifest generation (which is why it gets checked into the tree and leads to conflicts in the first place).
