Bug#681726: Time to remove eclipse from Testing?

I don't think Debian 10 "Buster" should include eclipse and swt-gtk if
they haven't been upgraded past 3.8.
I came across this bug report while trying to remove the unsecure
webkitgtk from Debian. webkitgtk is ready for removal from Debian
Testing in 3 days except…
libswt-webkit-gtk-3-jni has an undeclared dependency on
libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 https://bugs.debian.org/879170
Once libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 is removed, the functionality provided by that
library will be completely broken.
It looks like it might be fixed by "simply" updating swt-gtk and
eclipse to a newer version.
Are there any objections to me requesting that the ftpmasters remove
swt-gtk and eclipse from Debian Testing so that we can complete the
webkitgtk removal from Testing?
Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha
