Jack are you speaking in the context of Servo?
From the Quantum Render (Gecko with the WebRender evolution we're
working on) point of view, Proton should not count on anything getting
better. In other words, design for Firefox 55 and assume things will
not get worse. If you need them to get better, come talk to the
graphics team. There are currently no such requirements I'm aware of,
specifically tied to the Proton work.
So, I don't see the order of operations being an issue, but I could be
missing something Jack knows of.

effort on the front-end performance. This includes everything from
engineering the new UI with things like animations running on the
compositor in mind from the get-go, being laser focused on guaranteeing
good performance on key UI interactions such as tab opening and closing,
and lots of focused measurements and fixes to the browser front-end.
I think the order of operations here is unfortunate. What we'd prefer
is that WebRender land first, and then Photon be designed around what
is possible in the GPU-backed world.
When will that landing be? How much time will that leave for designing
photon?
