Hi Phil, I'm going to say this isn't a plan I am aware of (the email you responded to is pretty old and no know progression since then).
Various bugs are still being raised about modern MathML support (stylo is a new integration of servo's CSS rendering as part of the quantum project - https://wiki.mozilla.org/Stylo) https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1339711 Secondly when working on a pref for the tor patch uplift to Firefox there wasn't a notion that we should be removing MathML at all: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1173199 This change is just for Tor users who wish to increase their privacy by removing a library which has known fingerprinting and exploits in the past.
