This is indeed true. But as Micah mentioned already, I don't think we are going to be using WebKit2. If we can, that would be neat, as there are some other nice changes too. Is it the default build for 1.8 yet? If we can't go with WebKit2, some other solution would have to happen for Flash to be usable. Are there any plans for that case, is my question. :)
