[webkit-qt] Rebasing QtWebKit 2.0 on current trunk?

Given the currently slipping schedules, should we perhaps consider 
rebasing QtWebKit 2.0 on current WebKit trunk?

Apple pushed some nice speed and memory improvements before releasing 
Safari 5 and these could really benefit us, not to mention the 4 months 
of "regular" work that WebKit has had since we originally branched off.

Some examples:

https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35850
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38682
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39035
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39171
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39180
https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/59281
https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/60392

Yes, we could obviously cherry-pick these changes, but given the current 
timeframe, I personally think that rebasing (and re-entering 
stabilization mode) could be worthwhile.

Thoughts?
