> Can you please mention why are we removing old test runner and using new one?

I'm not sure if should mention this here or through the changelog. In any case, I'll try both, one should be right.

I can summarize some of the goals for the new Test262 Runner:

- It's configurable, with mechanisms to handled new imported files, failing tests, etc.
- It eases the process of importing new Test262 content, where skipped and known failing tests are kept and flagged without a hassle.
- It's compatible with any target for running the Test262 tests locally through the CI bots.
- It's also detached from the stress tests as Test262 has a different content and purpose (specs conformance, mostly).

> Can the removal of old test-runner related files be done in a separate patch after the switch is complete?

I this case I should use the bug 184933 for the switch only and then we follow up on this one. I'm happy to fix this and I'll ping you as soon I have a patch up there.

This current bug purpose is to have the actual removal of the old runner.

> Can you please write the detailed ChangeLog?

sure!

Thanks for the feedback!
