If that were to happen, how big an impact would that have on Firefox OS development? I admittedly don't understand the project too well, but they had to port Gecko to work in Gonk right? Would there be significant overhead getting Servo working under Gonk? |

- currently browser.html runs on top of a gecko runtime (called graphene) which is based on the one we use for FirefoxOS.
- getting gecko to work on gonk is not different from adding support for other platforms like linux/mac/windows/android. Basically you need to provide implementation for low level windowing and input events. On non-posix systems there's a bit more to do in the nspr library, but that's not the case for gonk.
- we already have a port of servo that runs on gonk.
FirefoxOS has been using a 100% html UI since about 4 years, so it has been leading the way here.
