I very much agree with this.

For the foreseable future, we will (helix) keep maintaining GtkHTML as
a small HTML rendering engine.  We are not developing a web browser
with it, but if someone wants to they are welcome to.

(Currently, I rather use Netscape than Mozilla and Mozilla over
testgtkhtml :-)
