I'm concerned about it too, partly because it's shaping up to be a "big
bang" landing. However I see no better way forward than getting all
available resources behind the current plan and getting it done.

A large chunk of the work of off-main-thread painting is refactoring
display lists to be independent of frames, which definitely can and should
be done incrementally and could be done in parallel with the layers
refactoring. I still think it should wait till after the layers refactoring
so all possible resources are on deck for layers.
