I feel like that would be helpful context at the top of this article, because before knowing this I was pretty confused why a project was publicly questioning a decision it made 3 years ago, whereas with that context it seems this was more a discovery exercise by the new maintainers.
The article is published in a blog for people working with/on servo and for people who are interested in servo already. It is not a "This is what servo is", "Announcing servo" or anything like that, it's a niche article on a niche blog for a niche project. It's perfectly fine to not lead with context that is obvious from the rest of the website.
