Removing it is probably best way forward for two reasons,

  1. People that use software that needs webkit clearly can keep using
  it even if it is removed so I don't see a problem.

  2. Qt5 webkit is available. Porting Qt4 -> Qt5 is not much of an
  issue (remember the much more difficult Qt3 -> qt4 transition?)

So, remove it from testing and then later remove it completely.

Cheers,
Adam
