This is nitpicking. The project was called Quantum, and the goal was to gradually replace Gecko components with Servo parts [0]. [0]: https://www.phoronix.com/

  Right, gradual replacement != "throw away Gecko and replace with Servo". They never "realized [they couldn't easily] make it a viable replacement" because that wasn't the goal.

    Regardless of semantics, gradual replacement gave many of us much more hope than what actually happened, when Mozilla dismantled their Servo team.

      For sure, it’s sad that they did what they did.
