Its certainly up for debate, while webOS still is out there it is not shipping on any devices, nor has it for a couple of years.
However, we are seeing an interesting trend towards web operating systems: chrome, windows, firefox, and tizen. This puts webOS in some good company and given the trend I could see interest piquing again this year if consumers have an easy way to get said bits onto an unlocked device. Markus is there a way to install webOS on Android devices yet? Maybe this is something we can help get going.
