Deprecating KDEWebKit?

[Volker Krause]

Hi,

I have recently seen a several people in #kde-devel struggling with doing the 
recommended kdesrc-build based frameworks build due to kdewebkit failing. 
That's not really surprising as getting the necessary QtWebKit isn't actually 
trivial as it's no longer officially released, and unofficial resurrection 
attempts have stalled many months ago too apparently.

In by far the most cases this would be a rather pointless exercise anyway, as 
KDEWebKit seems very rarely used by (still alive) applications.

I'm therefore wondering:
- Should we downgrade KDEWebKit from "Tier 3" to "Porting Aid"?
- Should we remove KDEWebKit from the default frameworks module set in kdesrc-
build, so that especially newcomers aren't confused by the common but harmless 
build error caused by it? Applications actually needing it could still pull it 
in via an explicit dependency.

Regards,
Volker
