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.
