Hi, Sam

WebKit1 on 0.106 does not support flex-box. When you discuss 'reverting' but using WebKit2 api, it is not clear to me whether the OLPC version of Sugar will support modern CSS3 features.

OLPC os will *not* support WebKit2 on the XOs. Quozl has said this many times.

This patch was a hack - it let the python programmer pretend that WebKit1 was WebKit2. It did not actually run WebKit2 on the XO. It did not add flexbox support.

Just "reverting" this means the following: upstream sugar will be coded against WebKit2 - which is great for SoaS or Ubuntu users. When OLPC makes OLPC OS images, they will revert this commit and their version will use WebKit1. This is a better choice from a software perspective, and it will *not* affect the UX.

Ok, I have updated the sugar patch, and this one is no longer relevant.
