nixpkgs uses Qt 5.6 for KDE applications. The Qt 5.6 release notes say:

  With 5.6, Qt WebKit and Qt Quick 1 will no longer be supported and are 
dropped from the release. The source code for these modules will still be 
available. You can continue to compile and use these modules, but we will not 
be supporting them any longer.

Do distributions still use Qt WebKit from Qt 5.6?
Or is it not possible to use kdepim 16.04 with Qt 5.6?

Cheers,
Jos
