    <thetext>Hyatt started a &quot;Viewless WebKit&quot; experiment a while back that has been superceded by work on the WebKit-in-separate-process work currently known as WebKit2. The code for &quot;Viewless WebKit&quot; is no longer used by tip of tree Safari and is probably not used by any other client either. The code can at least mostly be found by searching WebKit for &quot;usesDocumentViews&quot;.

However, removing the code immediately would break nightly builds, since released versions of Safari call some of this code that is exposed as SPI. So we probably need to wait until tip of tree Safari has made it into a release before doing this.</thetext>

    <thetext>We can remove all the insides and change the SPI to do nothing first. Then later remove the SPI.</thetext>
