In fact, there is a very recent release of Qt 5.6, which removes webkit;
so we could try an update. On the other hand, without webkit and the bundled
chromium, there will be no webbrowsers left over... 5.6 is supposed to be
a long term support version, with fixes promised over the next three years.
So would it make sense to reenable chromium (=qtwebengine)?
