Hi Ms2ger, 

Thanks for calling me on that, just trying to move things along.  

Test location and using manifests concepts can also be decoupled.  Wherever the 
location the tests, we will use manifests to define it’s execution. There isn’t 
really any other way around that.

So now the decision is, do we want to:
1. keep external access tests in the same directory as other tests [1]
2. group external access tests into a directory named ‘external’ (e.g. 
dom/media/tests/mochitest/external/)

Many of the QA team believe option #2 is ideal in addition to using manifests 
to define them.
