Yes!

This has always been blocked by the existing layering violations, what
are your plans for that? I guess we will have WebCore/platform and
Platform at the same time for a while until all layering violations are
fixed?

See the tracking bug:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21354

But there are more, I wrote a script to get the list of violations, it's
in Tools/Scripts/check-for-platform-layering-violations
