libplasma2 and QtSvg

[Alexis Ménard]

It's Depecrated, it doesn't mean someone can't come up with a replacement.

QtSvg is buggy, just ask Nuno and it will tell you how much he hates
that module. It supports only a subset of the potential of SVG spec
and when I was in Nokia there was no-one to work on it, and we even
broke it badly one day.

To me the solution lies in WebKit, I asked if the API was stable and
it seems that yes it's pretty good. So if we have an interest (which I
believe we do a lot), then we should make the QtSvg on top of WebKit
API happens.

:D.
