- Yoric 8y agoWhy would they be? The owner of the repo is Google. Google gets last word on anything Microsoft wants to include in Chromium/Edge.

If Microsoft, or Opera, or anyone else downstream wants to pull out parts of Chromium and replace them with Rust components (including a parallel renderer), they are free to do so. It increases their maintenance cost to maintain the unique components, but so would maintaining a whole separate from-scratch project instead of being downstream.
