Please remove midori from experimental.

See bug 864951 for the removal bug for unstable and testing. I was
told it's best to file a separate bug for experimental.

Midori is a web browser that was developed by the Elementary OS
developers. Last year, Elementary OS released the latest version of
their distro, Loki, with Epiphany as the default web browser instead
of Midori. Midori's last release (0.5.11) was almost 2 years ago in
August 2015.

The final stable release of Midori still uses the unmaintained WebKit1
instead of webkit2gtk and therefore the browser suffers from numerous
known security vulnerabilities. Midori now fails to build with vala
0.36 which is in Ubuntu 17.10 Alpha and will be in Debian unstable
once it clears the Debian new queue.

I got approval from Sergio Durigan Junior, the Debian maintainer for
midori, before filing this bug.

Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha
