I think that if we do stick with Azure, we should at least try to use a vanilla version and do away with the bits that we steal from Gecko. Our modified version of Azure was definitely a huge roadblock for upgrading our Skia checkout during the work week. It would be so much simpler if we could just drop in new versions of these components instead of maintaining large patches on top of them. --Martin _______________________________________________ dev-servo mailing list dev-servo@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-servo
