I'm not a fan of using super unless it's absolutely necessary. See here for an explanation why:
https://fuhm.net/super-harmful/

I know that not using it requires a bit more typing, but I think being explicit is more valuable, especially when there are as many mixins are there are in mozharness.

I talked with Andrew on IRC and pointed him to the following URL which shows that mozharness makes complete usage of super(). So I would like to follow that schema.

Andrew agreed on it.

I will update the patch for the other nit even also that was a copy/paste from marionette.py.

Currently we run our tests in mozmill-ci via the mozilla-central version of mozharness. But this might change for the 45ESR branch. I don't want to keep backward-compat code around for more than a year. So lets get the mozharness changes uplifted for 45:
