Servo has improved the state of the art of layout / css / rendering performance for gecko, even outperforming blink on some cases.
Spidermonkey is consistently inferior to v8 and slow down ecmascript adoption.
Therefore it would be much wiser for mozilla to switch to v8 like everybody else and to reallocate the money either towards resurrecting servo OR towards improving V8 and making it faster, which here would bring actual value to humans.
