Ok, let me say it in different words for it to be clear since some people do 
not want to understand.

kdelibs has KHTML, we don't need webkit at all.

The problem is that Nokians agenda is kill KHTML in favor of QtWebkit.

I only want to remind you the fiasco (Can't print in okular. can't do poster 
printing. why i can't print only odd pages?) of the killing of KDEPrint by 
forcing QPrinter on us that never got fixed and we are still suffering the 
consequences by asking us to rewrite what we already had working.
