Test Harnesses into Own Repo	Enables us to run tests on all versions without backporting harness infrastrucutre Makes developers able to write tests for any branch in any test type Easier to maintain Easier to catch breakage	1.5 - 2 Quarters
Universal Manifest	Makes all tests use the same manifest structure Gives us ability to manifest for mochi* tests Gives us the ability to handle different behaviors per product, per platform Gives us the ability to create a better manifest than what we have now Gives us flexibility to selectively enable/disable tests (could create an "orange" only run for debugging)	1 Quarter design and experiment with manifest, selling the idea to dev, refactoring mochitest/xpcshell to use a manifest at all. 1 month implementation reftest style harnesses 1 month porting and testing TODO: Would we want to keep old behavior going forward or just new behavior going forward? How does that change if we do the "test harness in own repo"?
