My apologies for the late response.

We haven't been able to commit the effort needed to actively maintain our port upstream, so in the interest of unburdening the project we'll support the removal. 

If anyone wants our downstream code, it's available at the BlackBerry GitHub page:
BBOS: https://github.com/blackberry/WebKit-Smartphone
PlayBook: https://github.com/blackberry/WebKit-PlayBook
BlackBerry 10: https://github.com/blackberry/WebKit-BB10

There hasn't been a response to this question in many months and as far as I can tell, no additional activity in the BlackBerry port.  Is anyone from BlackBerry still interested in maintaining the port? If not, I think we should remove it from the tree.
