The Chromium build system -- and as a consequence, also QtWebEngine -- still uses Python 2.7. This is going to be a real problem about six months down the line, and I have no idea how upstream is going to deal with it. I've heard there are patches buried deep within the chocolate factory, but not from reliable sources.
QtWebEngine is an even specialer case, since it's an LTS and also the last LTS in the Qt5 series, and I have real doubts about upstream -- The Qt Company -- being able or willing to deal with Python 2.7 deprecation there. Has anyone in FreeBSD tried to port the stuff over? I got about an hour or two into the porting process (making configure accept Python 3 is easy, but there's all these wretched code-generating scripts) and hit a brick wall of templating engines doing sensible Python 2.7 things.
