But Servo, to the best of my knowledge, was* an R&D project to develop an new experimental engine. The parts lifted into Firefox are now presumably maintained and developed as a part of Firefox proper.
Don't get me wrong, I was disappointed when i heard that the Servo team was laid off. We are probably missing out on new exciting things that could have come out of it. I just wanted to clarify that cutting Servo did not, as far as I know, mean that any current part of Firefox is now unmaintained or undeveloped.
* Servo is still alive and developed outside of Mozilla, I don't know if's doing well or not.
