How about handling it the same way we handle old GtkWebKit versions? As soon as F26 is branched from Rawhide (expected in 2017-02-21), retire this package? This would give package maintainers enough time to get their packages fixed (about 9 months) until Fedora 27 is released. Any package that has not been ported until then is unmaintained or under-maintained anyway and should not be in Fedora due to other (compatibility, stability) reasons.

The same should probably be done for qtwebkit (Qt4) and qt5-qtwebkit (Qt5) …. Is there any procedure for this? I cannot find the F27 proposed change to remove webkitgtk and webkitgtk3 either.

Agreed. Nine months quite a lot, they should be able to update their packages in less time than that.
