Midori depends on an ancient, no longer maintained Webkit1 
implementation with known security issues [1]. Adding it to meta-oe 
requires that:

a) webkit-gtk is at least updated to the latest version of the no longer 
maintained Webkit1 implementation (1.8.3 -> 2.4.9)
2) that version is patched with every fix that other distributions have 
done, including [1]

I can do this, but at the expense of updating other packages in oe-core 
that need updating before we hit a stabilization milestone. Do you 
specifically know someone who needs such an extra-cushioned transition?
