This proposed resolution affects Gecko and Servo. Please review and comment.

FWIW we (well Ms2ger and I) have been heavily pushing for this change for some time now; it considerably simplifies many things for us. For example with the change it will be possible for both Gecko and Servo hackers to contribute to the CSS testsuite with the same process that already works for web-platform-tests. In Gecko it will also make it easy to have an upd-to-date copy of the CSS tests in tree (my understanding is that the current import is some years out of date).

For gecko specifically there might be some concerns with running the entire CSS testsuite through the wptrunner harness, as performance that is good enough with 500 reftests might be deemed less acceptable with 10,000. However I think this is something we can benchmark and optimise post-merge. Certainly I don't think it's a reason not to go ahead with this change, which will have the extremely positive effect of making the CSS testsuite something we can both use an contribute to without significant manual burden.
