[$] The coming WebKitGTK+ 2.4 apocalypse
It is well understood that old and unmaintained software tends to be abreeding ground for security problems. These problems are never welcome, but theyare particularly worrying when the software in question is a net-facingtool like a web browser. Standalone browsers are (hopefully) reasonablywell maintained, but those are not the only web browsers out there; theycan also be embedded into applications. The effort to do away with oneunmaintained embedded browser is finally approaching its conclusion, butthe change appears to have caught some projects unaware.
