I know, but letting this continue to stall removal of the ancient
webkitgtk seems to be abusing this situation.  I've also previously said
I'm OK to drop the dependency once other blockers are resolved.

Besides, we need to settle on a way forwards soon, or else the feasible
options will start to dwindle.
