I'll open tickets with the upstream projects, but given that these two packages continue to work with webkit2gtk-4.0, that's not a high priority right now. However, for elementary-mail, switching to webkit2gtk-4.1 is a requirement to make it work again, given that e-d-s now links against libsoup-3, and elementary-mail currently only builds against webkit2gtk-4.0, which depends on libsoup-2.4. Am I understanding this correctly?
