Mozilla are winding down their efforts to make Firefox competitive. They are not planning to make a full servo browser anytime soon and they are transfering resources to VR and other things. This is disapointing.

You can't blame them, their user base is in free fall.

I don't know if they have a date in mind for the delivery of a 100% Rust Firefox, but they're not stopping the initiative.

The page goes on with a list of stuff they planned to add to Servo in 2018, which will eventually go into Firefox.
