BlackBerry is moving away from Skia, a removal wouldn't hurt us at this point. With EFL being on cairo, it seems like that item can stay on the list.

Unless you plan to scare more ports away, I would suggest double checking
stuff to remove. As far as I know BlackBerry and EFL are using Skia, and I am
sure there are ports using GoogleURL as well.

For the record though I don't think Qt is using any of that those.
