I think what this means is that Nix will export interfaces that closely match 
WebKit internals as the Nix API to WebKit.

This may well create a long term problem for the WebKit project. Changes that 
would be fine for other platforms, internal restructuring, could be a problem 
for the Nix platform. Generally speaking, this is what the platform layers in 
the WebKit directory provide; a port that omits this level of abstraction and 
indirection could pose some serious challenges to us as we make major changes 
to WebKit internals while preserving external API compatibility.

I’m not saying this is an immediate show-stopper, but it’s a critical topic to 
discuss.
