I'd love to get rid of the diff, and it sounds like a good idea.

Webkit is in main, but webkit-sharp isn't yet. I don't know
what the policy is on language bindings. I'll try and see if it's
possible to promote webkit-sharp early enough that we can sync
without problems.

That would be the second option, if we can't get the promotion in time.

Thanks,
