Servo is essentially Mozilla's Rust browser test ground, and my understanding is that it is not meant to stand on its own as a browser engine.

I saw it more that servo is the codebase they want firefox to be, but changing out the engine in a humongous codebase like FF is extremely difficult so they're taking it a step at a time. They merge bits and pieces in from time to time[0] and I expect that to continue until firefox is servo in as many places as possible.

Looks like servo might only be a breeding ground for ideas after all.
