That's exactly what people said when plans to drop QtWebKit and QtScript
were first announced.

As people provided specific examples of common features that would be
broken, the deprecation was delayed by 6 months (maybe 12, I cannot really
remember and time flies).

We are now at the second deprecation announcement, and this time it seems
it's for real. Most features people requested were added to
QJSEngine/QWebEngine (not necessarily with an easy or optimal migration
path).
