Description Brent Fulgham 2017-04-10 12:48:21 PDT 
The various WebKit2 processes were created using the full UIKit runloop. Since UIKit is designed to support full applications, it has features that are not needed for our focused lower-level WebKit processes.

We should move to a lower-level runloop concept so that we can tighten the sandboxes on WebProcess, NetworkProcess, etc., even further.
