I like this idea very much, thank you!
Independent to whether this proposal is accepted or not, I'd like to
point out that it would be very useful to notify all maintainers of
this issue, probably by filing a bug to every package that uses one
of these packages (webkitgtk, webkitgtk3), adding a link to your
statement above and tell the maintainer to take action: Contact
upstream. If upstream will be porting the package to Webkit2Gtk, ship
it in Fedora. If not, try to build without WebKit support. If that
fails, deprecate a package by filing bugs to all packages relying on
it.
Sadly, I don't know any way to automate this and filing ~50 bugs is
quite much.
I'll note that if someone is going to do this, please read and follow

Thanks.
