RIP WebKit?

I've been using Midori on and off as a way to access the WebKit2 engine without having to run Safari on an up-to-date Mac OS version. It saddens me thus to see that the "Next" version will be just another Chromium clone.

The rebooted QtWebKit may not yet be as up-to-date as the webkit2-gtk but it's getting there, and it also has a QML binding. Why not support both engines, so that users have a choice (and maybe help complete QQuickWebView if it's missing required functionality)?
