I would not object. But it's not up to me. It's up to the owners of WebKitGtk 
(or another port that produces a Linux binary), and the people who would have 
to do the engineering and operations work to set it up.

If it comes down to an arbitrary preference for webkit.org <http://webkit.org/> 
over webkitgtk.org <http://webkitgtk.org/>, then you may have to give a better 
reason to convince the people who would actually have to do the work.

Maciej
