Gecko was already using Skia on Windows and Mac, so enabling Skia on Linux helps consolidate the graphics code.
WebRender is actively being ported to Gecko (the "Quantum Render" project), but it is a large effort and won't ship until late 2017. It's an all-or-nothing feature, so it can't be enabled incrementally.
