I think what you are suggesting makes a lot of sense (but it's one of few GNOME packages that I'm not calling the shots on and it's Michael's call here). By the way, do you have any suggestions for upstream library naming? There is going to be an API break next cycle in the webkit2gtk-5.0 gtk4 API and that's a good chance to do something about the shared library naming. So far it's: webkit2gtk-4.0.so webkit2gtk-4.1.so webkit2gtk-5.0.so and I know Michael has been working on renaming webkit2gtk-5.0.so to webkitgtk-5.0.so upstream. Can you come up with any better names for the gtk4 shared library upstream, Kevin (or anyone else)? The constraint here is that webkit2gtk-4.0.so and webkit2gtk-4.1.so are set in stone so it's best to avoid something that can be easily confused with the existing library names. -- Kalev
