"future" is a strong word. Mozilla is unlikely to make future
improvements to the project, but it mostly-works now.
So to the extent that we can improve the current code and avoid
multiple forks, having a shared codebase is usually a win for everyone.
Given
Gregory's response below, ripping anything out may be harder than I
think it is, though, due to Make's evaluation semantics.
There are certainly makefile evaluation patterns that aren't statically
analyzable: $(eval) in particular can change things. But it's definitely
possible to statically parse a makefile and its variables into an IR and
often that's enough to do interesting transforms. Worse is better ;-)
