Hi Danny,
What's the reason for this change?
Webkitgtk is actively examined and exploited by security researchers. I
think we should try not to build wxwidgets with this unmaintained
version of webkitgtk.
If some application needs wxwidgets with this older webkitgtk, we should
make a new package for it and maybe file a bug upstream pointing out the
risks of such a dependency. We already have a few such "special"
wxwidgets packages.

wxwidgets didn't enable webview at all - which failed a few other
programs (I looked through the core-updates hydra failure list).

Sorry, didn't know. Should we revert this for the time being?
