I'm 100% in support of this.
One thing I'd like to know though is how we're going to deal with
upstreaming patches to Skia on behalf of third parties? In my
experience, it's rarely been a case of simply submitting a patch and
having it accepted; there's normally a decent amount of engineering
effort required to make it acceptable to upstream. I think it would be
nice to have some sort of plan figured out (even if it's "people
submitting patches to us should probably consult upstream first") before
we flip the kill switch here.

In https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1323303, we are going
to disable the build configurations that let us leave Skia out. This
will let us simplify the code, and make things cleaner, now that it is
the only supported backend. We will take patches to Gecko (or forward
them if in Skia itself) that fix problems related to Tier 3 platforms,
although we don't anticipate anything coming in for SkiaGL.
