looks like the last legitimate commit to the Windows CE port was on November 
3rd November 2013, almost 3 months ago.

What's the minimum upstream interval for downstream fixes to show ongoing 
activity?

I also seem to remember that there's no version of MSVC for Windows CE that can 
handle the C++11 features that we now use in WebKit. (Correct me if I'm wrong 
on this!)

Windows Embedded Compact 2013 updated the compiler for CE.

With this in mind, does it make sense to keep the Windows CE port in the tree 
or should we remove it?

Does it hurt somebody in the daily workflow? If yes, where exactly?
I'm still working on getting rid of WebKit/wince by merging it into WebKit/win 
(with only a few #if WINCE) to reduce the impact of the WinCE port, but it's 
hard if there is nobody who finds time for reviewing patches. :-/ (e.g. 
webkit.org/b/119518 or webkit.org/b/123803 waiting for months - but I don't 
want to blame somebody by this!)

The last commit from WinCE maintainer was on 20th November 2013,
9 months ago - https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/159534

Since then other contributors landed 41 changes touched WinCE files:
https://trac.webkit.org/search?q=wince&noquickjump=1&changeset=on

Do we have any benefit if we keep these crufts in the trunk?

Ossy
