Seems just more unlikely.

It's one thing for a mozilla team member to say "Hey, let's pull the servo css layout engine into firefox" It's a whole different thing for someone to say "Hey, let's pull the webkit css layout engine into firefox".

The servo stuff, while for experimentation, was ultimately geared towards the notion of landing parts of it into firefox. It was built for that. Under an opensource foundation maintainer model, there's a strong possibility that it moves from that as a goal.

I would still expect servo to at loosely remain "firefox shaped", at least far more than the separately-developed webkit lineage.
The true difference is that Servo is more modular than WebKit.
