> Mozilla isn't going to drop the Firefox brand even if they do end up replacing Gecko with Servo
Microsoft rebranded IE as Edge to jettison both technical debt (like ActiveX) and IE's bad reputation. Conveniently, IE and Edge both have blue "e" icons so users are not confused. :) I wonder if Mozilla could successfully launch a Servo-based browser product with a new name to distance it from Firefox's historical reputation for memory leaks and broken extensions.
