I found this statement on the Qt mailing list:

"QtQuick1 and QtWebKit are _not_ supported anymore since Qt 5.6. 

What we have said is that we will provide QtWebKit source packages as
courtesy 
on a  best-effort basis. That is, also the QtWebKit source package under

http://download.qt.io/community_releases/5.6/5.6.0/

is not part of Qt anymore, and not supported. Use it at your own risk.
There's also no promise we can continue providing these."

Well, none of this software comes with a warranty, so I think it's fine.
Can you add a code comment mentioning that this package is not
officially supported by the Qt project?
