We'll have two engines if Epiphany moves to webkit and gnome-shell
sticks with gjs.

If the only user of gjs in GNOME is gnome-shell, and the gnome-shell
developers are happy with a move to Seed (have we heard from them on
this yet?), then I am +1 for Seed's inclusion and gjs' exclusion.

I agree with Hubert that sending mixed messages about browser/js
engines is not a good idea.
