Many have asked: "Ok, this sounds great, how on earth do we get there?"
From the few conversations I have now had: no single project believes they will ever have enough capacity to do browser dev v.s. patch work.
And no one will commit to exploration without some assurance that the base will receive long-term active development.
Absent some leap of faith, it's likely up to a new project to commit to building that base, and getting it to a stage where those projects feel like it can happen.
If the independent, non-slop web has any future at all, then now must be the time for every firefox fork to commit to working together to maintain a hardfork isolated from Mozilla.
It's a project that is too large to be handled by any small project alone (and maybe even all of them combined), but one that is too important to left under the guidance of an organization like Mozilla.
Without such bold co-operation I fear we have already lost.
