I can't speak for the group, but this is an anti-goal for GeckoView.  The
major knock on GeckoView is that it's large.  We have approach that should
reduce the current 40M or so to 25-30M or so; those approaches will include
not shipping Fennec.

If you want a full Fennec AAR, I'm happy to help produce it, modulo time
and feasibility constraints, but GeckoView is not the vehicle.  For the
foreseeable future, however, you're safe -- the work to remove Fennec code
from GV is significant and un-resourced.

Best,
Nick
