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is that the current import is some years out of date).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.
