Comment:

 I was unaware of this.\\
 Thank you for the information.

 Since the {{{qt5*-qtwebengine}}}s are already supports, couldn't we just
 update each one as needed?\\
 For example, if
 * qtwebengine 5.11 built against Qt 5.9, and
 * qtwebengine 5.11 built on all platforms that  Qt 5.9 did,
 it would be fairy easy to add something like:
 {{{
 if { ${subport} eq "${name}-qtwebengine" } {
     version         5.11.x
 }
 }}}
 to qt59-qtwebengine.

 For a time, qt59-qtwebengine and qt5-qtwebengine would essentially install
 the same thing, but eventually, Qt 5.9 would almost certainly be dropped,
 and we would then be free to pin qt59-qtwebengine to the last version that
 worked.
