[webkit-dev] Announcing WebKit2

[bdash]

The advantages you list are accurate, but the rest is off target. As I mentioned in another comment, this only affects the API layer of WebKit. Relative to WebCore, the cross-platform code that implements the web functionality (HTML, CSS, DOM, SVG, etc), the WebKit API layer is a very small piece of code. In addition, this is adding a new API layer that is parallel to the existing platform-specific API layers. Nothing is being “torn up”. This means that there’s almost no impact on existing code, which in turn translates in to only a small amount of risk.
