I think Ben's argument has merit:

1. Even after Firefox 57, we will still be shipping a product in non-e10s
mode: Firefox for Android
2. If WPT (and potentially other suites) aren't being run in non-e10s mode,
it increases risk because we are shipping untested code paths to our users

Someone might add code that assumes e10s is the only mode and land it
successfully, only later to hear that it fails or crashes on Android, since
e10s doesn't exist there today.
