There are some good reasons to think we should get rid of this dependency in accessibility/atk, such as the fact that we need to properly expose wrapped lines in WebKit2 (see https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73433#c1) or that similar results to what we get through pango/gail combo could be achieved using internal utilities inside WebKit (e.g. TextBreakIterator).

However, this is probably not going to be a one-patch-fix, so here is the metabug to track them all.
