Are y'all suggesting that efl port should do these items (converting pixel
tests to non-pixel tests) before committing their baselines?

PS fwiw, at one point, I did some work to figure out which tests were
changing most often to see where people would get the most return on their
investment and to my memory many tests with a high churn rate were svg
(which seem like they would be harder to convert to a non-pixel test
format).
