I’m hitting Nicosia compile issues again 
(https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208282) and the last Nicosia-related 
commit was on October 3.

Does Nicosia qualify as a “science project” in the sense listed at 
https://webkit.org/project/  . Googling for 
Nicosia finds no technology-related hits on the first page.

Please do. It is unreasonable to push maintenance burden of this dead code
to people who are working on async scrolling. See
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198292 for an example.

I added the stubs there, and was planning to start adding actual 
implementations there in the following weeks, now that a new release cycle was 
just entered.

I wouldn't mind disabling or removing the code temporarily in order to enable 
you an easier time refactoring around it. But given that the async scrolling 
capability is something we plan to add support for in the WPE and GTK ports, 
I'd appreciate some input about the scope and the timeframe of your work and 
possibility of sharing as much of the implementation as possible between 
different ports.

Cheers,
Zan
