Comment (by drkp):

 To be more specific about dependents and the impact of libsoup3...

 * 5 ports build fine with just a revbump or config patch to update the
 pkg-config file name:
   - gnucash
   - devhelp
   - glade
   - astroid
   - rednotebook
 * 4 ports work with an update to a more recent version:
   - epiphany (to 42.5, the later versions use gtk4)
   - surf (to 2.1, the latest)
   - yelp (to 41.2, the latest)
   - zenity (to 3.44.5, the latest in the gnome 3 series)
 * gnome-user-accounts is probably in the same category, but I haven't
 looked into it enough to understand what version to update to while still
 remaining compatible with the rest of the gnome ports
 * 9 ports were already broken before the update (at least on my system)
   - balsa
   - birdfont
   - cl-webkit2
   - empathy
   - geany-plugins
   - liferea
   - midori
   - nyxt
   - seed

 Note that some of the ones in the latter category are straight-up
 discontinued (e.g., empathy and midori).

 The patches/updates for the first two categories are already on my
 webkit2-gtk-2.52 branch. The only one that definitely needs a bit more
 attention is gnome-user-accounts, as mentioned above. And we should
 probably decide what to do with the already-broken ones, which might
 include removing some of them.
