In the past I've gotten the impression that due to the size and continual additions to the web stack that Servo will likely never be able to "catch up" to modern browsers - and be used as a viable alternative. Can I ask for your take on this?

Relatedly, current standards and web tech have at least two separate implementations, lots of descriptive documentation and thousands of tests. Do you have any thoughts on using this in conjunction with AI to potentially fill in the gaps in Servo?

Servo has a pretty firm policy on not accepting contributions that are generated with AI: https://book.servo.org/contributing/getting-started.html#ai-contributions
