maintenance burden of our port, but without any clear cut goals of what we<=
br>
could use the port for, except it could very likely be useful to our existi=
ng<br>
users and customers.<br>
<br>
After the announcement of our plan, a lot of scepticism was raised on webki=
t-<br>
dev about whether it made sense for WebKit. Since Digia had announced that =
we<br>
would focus on the Chromium based Qt WebEngine, many seemed to feel that we=
<br>
would not be able to contribute enough to the WebKit project to justify the=
<br>
cost to everyone else of keeping the Qt port upstream.<br>
<br>
Based on the feedback from the community we decided to remove the port,<br>
instead of fighting repeated conflicts. We have had a great time working wi=
th<br>
the WebKit project over the course of the past 7+ years. There have been ma=
ny<br>
conflicts but the end result has always been positive, and we would not wan=
t<br>
to be a burden for the project.<br>
<br>
With that in mind we say farewell to upstream. We will still be using WebKi=
t,<br>
and shipping with a brand new branch in Qt 5.2, and we will be active in th=
e<br>
project where it makes sense. Feel free to reach out to us using the usual<=
br>
channels.<br>

Thanks for having us<br>
