We haven’t removed it from Apple builds yet, because we think there are still 
some WebKit clients that use them. I.e., WebKit framework users on the platform 
that are not Safari or one of the other web browsers.

We should take another look, because it would be great to get rid of it 
completely.

Thanks,
