There are lots of concerns from EFL developers (me included) on how the development of WebKit-EFL is being done. The API of webkit2 even not being fully supported by EFL, as contrary to webkit1. There's only 1 developer that seemed to care and started to send patches to elm-web, so webkit2 can be fully supported. No surprise there was feedback asking for clarifications and why a simpler api couldn't be used. Now you come and say WebKit1 is being deprecated. -1000 here, until the day webkit2 gets fully supported in EFL and you start to interact more with EFL devs. On a side node, being a former contributor to webkit-efl, I shrugged with recent webkit revisions in which we refuse do depend and use EFL infra but we are now depending on several third-party non-released libraries. No matter what jhbuild can do for devs we should be using more of EFL, not less.
