I don't really want to get in the middle of all this, but for the record, I
really feel that only people who actually build and run the wx port are
entitled to speak for it. I'm certainly not happy about port breakages, but
that's really a side-effect of not being on the build bot, so I don't hold
committers personally responsible for breakages they can't easily become aware
of. 

As for the rest, honestly, I just don't see what is so contentious about this
change. I certainly haven't seen any evidence (e.g. benchmarks, etc.) of the
kind of performance or functional regression that would warrant a revert. The
rest of the criticisms seem to be issues of design and/or style, and while
platform #ifdefs aren't pretty, they aren't exactly forbidden in WebCore, so I
really don't see how their existence is somehow grounds for revert. It looks
like some interesting ideas have already been floated about in regards to
removing them, though, so I think it's a shame that the focus of this
discussion has mostly been on reverting rather than on a patch (or patches) to
improve what's already there.
