They also abandoned it. It has been picked up by the Linux Foundation though, which is exciting.
I have noticed that Mozilla has a long history of bad decisions. I wish that the Foundation wouldn’t just let it bit-rot though.
They aren’t; it isn’t languishing at all. It is being actively developed. Check out the commit log.
Oh! I stand corrected. Haven’t heard news about it in quite some time though. Thank you!
Does this mean Firefox will continue to reap the benefits?
One would hope so, as that's one of the main pros of open source.
Mozilla integrated parts of Servo and concluded it as a Mozilla project, passing governance to the Linux Foundation Europe. You call that letting it rot?
It worked for Mozilla, their namesake product, if accidentally. Seamonkey has been good to me.
