Serious answer: the Emacs dependency on unsupported WebKit was added two months ago and can be avoided by changing a configure flag: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/emacs.git/commit/?id=27d3963a4bee39a7a1b6fb6ff064e23030339211 So fortunately it's not too serious of a problem. There are other apps on that list that can be "ported" with a configure flag change as well. E.g. GIMP only uses WebKit for its help center; we should disable that so that user help opens in the user's default browser instead. Removing these old WebKit packages would help avoid introducing such issues when maintainers do not realize that webkitgtk3 is unsupported and insecure.
