That won't be possible. Doing that would severely restrict our ability
to progress in pushing GNOME3 down to unstable - Empathy, Epiphany,
Devhelp and whatnot need this version of WebKit. It would also severly
limit the exposure of newer webkit versions to user testing and
development (the very reason for unstable/testing).
I understand your concern about security support, but I think holding
webkit in experimental for almost a year just because we want
stable-quality security support for testing makes no sense at all, so
let's please stick to my request =). The "staging" of packages that
require the newer webkit on experimental has already happened, and it's
now time to push them to unstable.
Cheers,
