There are a few people using QtWebKit on insanely constrained hardware where
there is simply not enough ram. The use cases are usually for simple html
(wikipedia reader, epub, etc).

The developers who did that usually hack WebKit themself for the release.
The WebKit on the device is rarely updated anyway.

I agree with the argument already mentioned, this is not something that
needs to be actively supported. The needs for most of those devices can be
supported by the existing flag or by a branch.
