AFAICT the only reason is that you need it for compatibility. If your variant and version fields aren't valid, you don't have a UUID anymore -- you have something else.

Quantum is the umbrella, if you will, under which a bunch of performance focused subprojects are being developed. Some of them (Quantum Render, Quantum CSS) are importing Servo components (WebRender and Stylo, respectively), while others (Q

Hard to say. Clearly there are two camps. While we are indeed forcing an abstraction layer onto extension devs, that does not necessarily mean that we are going to use Chrome as the lowest common denominator with respect to extensibility. H

A reminder that Quantum is the name of the project, not the engine. The result of Quantum is still Gecko.
