There's the change itself and there's the CSSWG buy-in.

The proposed change is https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/pull/38976, and the part that benefits the WPT project is removing the CSS-specific lints that are about directory structure and file naming, most notably the one requiring globally unique file names. This will make css/ follow the same naming rules as the rest of WPT.

Then there's the build system in css/tools/ that builds the directories ending with `_dev` that end(ed) up on https://test.csswg.org/. I just confirmed that it does run to completion locally:

```
sudo apt-get install python2.7 python2.7-dev
PYTHON=python2.7 ./build.sh
```

This code isn't run in WPT CI and doesn't do any harm, but when it's not running anywhere any longer we'd like to remove it.

Agenda+ and a resolution would be one way to ensure all the right people are aware of the issue, but the mechanism isn't important, I just don't want anyone to be surprised/unhappy if we make the change.
