It's definitely not a proof of concept.

Servo is definitely going places but it's not Firefox. It's not looking to be a Gecko replacement, and Gecko is too deeply embedded in FF to swap it out. Sharing code sounds like a good idea though.

For example, another Mozilla intern I know is working on the project to replace Gecko's CSS style system with Servo's (Stylo).
