Yes it does, and I intend to to keep it that way :D It is not a supported configuration, but to the extend it is possible, I will try to make Qt WebEngine build with one version older Qt. With QtWebKit I kept it working with two version older, but WebEngine moves much faster and has a tight integration with the scene graph, so let's see. Btw. If you know the people packaging Chromium, you could point them my way, we could probably share patches.
