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)?
I second to Fabio's request. It's not OK to drop webkitgtk secondary architectures without coordination. Please revert this immediately and do a system wide change proposal instead. The net effect of dropping webkitgtk is that all of GNOME packages will have to excludearch i686 and arm, as they are going to be unbuildable otherwise.
(I am just objecting to the way this change is done and how it has ripple effects to hundreds of packages I maintain. I would _not_ object to dropping i686 and 32 bit arm from koji in a coordinated fashion.)
