Supposedly, Apple now allows third party web engines on iOS. Is there a Servo iOS roadmap?

  Haven't they always done that?

    No. 3rd party browsers were allowed but they had to use WkWebView as engine.

    No, Mozilla developed a full Firefox for iOS in ~2010, and Apple flatly refused to put it on the AppStore.

      This was not a full Firefox, just a basic demo browser to showcase the port that TedM did. It was not even submitted to the app store.

        Ah, that's how I recall Vivien telling me the story, but that was a long time ago, I may be misremembering.

    Even now it's only allowed in the EU, and only subject to a restrictive set of rules.
