I agree, but in the article, it was mentioned that the V8 team already wanted to make their RegExp engine more independent. Also, since Mozilla runs of limited resources, it's great that they will have less maintenance to do in the future.

Hopefully we start seeing more "modularized" browser components. It's a huge detriment IMO that we are stuck with 3-4 (depending on who you ask) monolithic browser engines.

I honestly don't understand why Mozilla went the route of a monolithic and firefox-only browser engine. They had a lead before Chrome showed up and refused to cater to devs. Now they're paying for it and so is everybody else.
