In the sense of "have one guy take a stab at it over the weekend because 
multi-billion-dollar companies can't be arsed", yes. I'm not sure what the 
situation over in Linux-land is.

PS1. I'm going to primarily blame Google; the Qt Company, though, is far from 
blameless in its maintainence of WebEngine (or lack thereof). I have hope for 
TurtleBrowser, but they are also kind of waiting on me for a breakthrough on 
the Python3 front.

PS2. Works-in-progress are the branches *webengine-python3* (old, but does 
complete an entire build that then doesn't actually **work**) and *webengine-
logpy27* (new, currently more hacky, doesn't build) in the https://github.com/
freebsd/freebsd-ports-kde.git ports repo.
