Package: emacs Version: 25.1 Tags: security The xwidgets feature requires webkit-gtk3 (ie, webkit v1). This has many known security issues, and IIUC was deprecated 3 years ago. Fedora plan to remove from the distribution it in the medium-term. Other distributions may follow suit. The replacement is webkit2-gtk3 (ie, webkit v2).
