Well, chances are that Servo will have much fewer bugs than today's browser engines. The approach of Servo and Rust is to design in a way that certain classes of bugs are eliminated by default. Only time will tell how good this will work, but I'm hopeful.
That would mean you have a smaller problem. Fewer vulns, fewer reasons to have security updates.
But it's unlikely that Servo will have no vulns at all. There are classes of bugs (e.g. logic vulns) that are unlikely to have any "generic" strategy to beat them. So you still need a working process to deliver security fixes to the user.
