Description Chris Dumez 2017-05-08 11:55:25 PDT 
Drop non-standard Element.scrollByLines() / scrollByPages().

Those were added a very long time ago (https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/7901/webkit) for Safari RSS but does not seem to be used anymore.

Blink has already dropped it without issue back in 2014:
