This is extremely unfortunate.

While I appreciate that getting webkit updates out to users is
important, this gives package maintainers and release engineering very
little time to react.
I assume many rawhide deliverables will start to fail because of the
missing webkit2gtk3 packages after that last build finishes (if it
succeeds).

I initially suggested making this a F36 System-Wide Change for a
reason, at least on paper or after the fact - to give people at least
*some* advance warning and allow for coordinated action around the
package removal on 32-bit arches ... For example, will this mean
Fedora can no longer produce Workstation (or other Spins) images for
arm, (given that e.g. gnome-shell transitively depends on
webkit2gtk3)?
