            Bug ID: 216182
           Summary: Obsolete RuntimeEnabledFeatures
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebCore Misc.
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: sam at webkit.org

Use of WebCore::RuntimeEnabledFeatures is almost always wrong as it is a global singleton that can be set by multiple different API layer preferences objects.

Over the years, it has become convenient, as it "works" for settings that need to be accessed in non-page accessible places, but in reality, those are likely threading issues waiting to happen or layering violations due to use of RuntimeEnabledFeatures from the platform directory.
