Great. Features, like performance improvements and bug fixes, are a great way
to contribute to WebKit.

Yes. I read that email. Then I asked who “whoever” was, and the answer was
“nobody”.
My position is simply this: Every port has a cost, so every port needs at least
a prima facia explanation of its corresponding benefit.
If the NIX port is what gets you guys excited about WebKit, and the end result
is a great implementation of WebRTC, that’s great.
But, six months from now, if the NIX port still has no adopters, and the only
activity it brings to WebKit is the occasional rude email from Ossy, that’s not
so great.
