Hm, unless you are talking about intl402, I wasn't aware of that.
What's the precedent?
If the non ES tests are separated properly then it's probably less of
an issue, though I still prefer that such tests are under a different
umbrella. Just to make clear that they are not actually testing ES
engines.
That is, I'd much rather have a structure like (modulo details of naming):
estests/
test262/
ch*/
intl402/
platforms/
