When I filed a bug
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592612
the response from the epiphany developers was
"Thanks for taking the time to file this bug report. Can you
reproduce this problem with Epiphany 2.27.x with the WebKit backend?
Because the Gecko backend has been discontinued, there will be no
more bugfixes for versions 2.26 and earlier."
This plainly says >>> there will be no more bugfixes for version
2.26 and earlier. <<<
Now you say there will be bugfixes. Who am I to believe?
Steve
Both. The upstream developer is not going to fix bugs in 2.26 and
earlier, but Fedora will backport bug fixes. This is not the only
package they do this for. (Red Hat does even more of this.)

I think I must have woken up in Bizzaro world today.
"...not going to fix bugs in 2.26 and earlier but Fedora will backport
bug fixes. ..."
I'm sure this makes sense to you but to me it reads that Fedora will
backport all the fixes the upstream developer is going to make... which
is zero!
No matter, the bottom line is that the problem I reported is not going
to get fixed in F10 which means that I have to swap over to Windows to
use LinkedIn until I change to F11 which I'll do once F12 is released.
Even then, the issue might still be there. <Sigh>
Steve
I believe the "backport" reference is meant to say that upstream fixes
to 2.27.x/2.28.x or whatever version might be "backported" by Fedora to
version 2.26.
