I know, and I am already doing this, but this does not help if there is no 
newer QtWebEngine release to begin with! Even taking a snapshot is typically 
not an option because security fixes are only backported in batches when a 
release is imminent (and in any case, will never be backported to a closed 
release branch).

If QtWebEngine releases actually get decoupled from Qt releases, that could 
address this issue, but as things are now, the Qt bugfix releases are needed 
for QtWebEngine.
