Having dedicated raptor tests sounds a must have to make sure performance
is monitored and we do not slowly regress over time.

"Should we wait for that? " is definitively a valid concern.
For years I was hoping ES6 modules will arrived - that was likely a mistake.
My understanding of the current state of the situation is that they will
arrive probably in 2016 but without the associated module loader... I'm
fine to use require.js all over the place and move it to shared/ instead of
waiting again and again. And then switch to ES6 modules once they will be
here.

TBH I feel like there is still a lot of work to make Web Components really
fast, but I agree on the theory for the long term.
