Agreed, no rush here as long as things continue working. I don't know
what Michael's timeframe is for removing webkit2gtk-4.0, but I would
expect it to be at least a year from now to give time for things to
transition over.
My current plan is to retire webkit2gtk3/webkit2gtk4.0 at the same time
that we remove libsoup 2: February next year, right after F38 is
branched. This way, we can release F39 in November next year with
libsoup 3 only.
This is a compromise between giving applications a fair amount of time
to port, but also ensuring we do not keep an obsolete security-critical
network library around any longer than we need to.
Note the only difference between webkit2gtk3/webkit2gtk4.0 and
webkit2gtk4.1 is the version number and the libsoup version that it
links against. Once you've handled libsoup migration, the WebKitGTK
migration is just a matter of bumping the version number.
