Hi, Enrico!

Right now, I think that the best strategy for the B2G OS effort is to
continue to be powered by Gecko and to pick up Servo components as we
upstream them there through the Oxidation effort.

In the short term, Servo's priorities, especially around device
support, rely on APIs such as OpenGL ES3 that are not available on
current B2G hardware. While we may expand that support in the future
and would love to support B2G OS more directly again if things pick up
around it, today we do not have the capacity to support it.
