I would prefer to stick with 1.2.x for the time being since I don't
want to try to do security support for two codebases at the same time
(until we get later in the development process). Can we keep it in
experimental or create a webkit virtual package that can be fulfilled
by webkit1.2 or webkit1.4?  Or is that much too complicated?

Are there any immediate drivers for this transition?  And if so, can't
they be staged in experimental?

Best wishes,
Mike
