Can you elaborate a bit on this? I don't disagree that there is *some*
cost, but at least from my vantage point it seems quite acceptable. When
tests are renamed we deal with it in the Chromium import process, and
doesn't require us to treat all of the renamed files as if they were new.
If there are other bits of tooling that don't handle renames well, I
wouldn't mind investing a bit of time fixing that.

I think that avoiding renaming makes the test suite more confusing over
time, e.g. html/ isn't organized per the current spec but how it once was.
What kinds of problems would we run into if we renamed some things in css/?
(Admission: I have already been doing exactly that in a few cases, and
nobody has told me to stop.)
