Hi,
  Qtwebkit has been unmaintained for a long time (last release from annulen's 
fork was almost 3 years ago) and is plagued with security issues by now. Most 
consumers are either dead upstream, of they use it to provide optional 
functionality that can be disabled at build time. I propose to drop it from our 
repos, together with all packages which use it non-optionally. Other distros 
such as Opensuse and Gentoo have done it already.
  If there are no objections, I will open a todo list to disable the dependency 
in all packages where it's possible, and otherwise drop them.



That would be a quite good step, it's really old and
piling up on problems facing a lot of untrusted data.

huge +1

Thanks a lot for bringing this up and taking care of the
todo.

Cheers,
Levente
