You get a lot of bang for your buck with WebKitGtk though. Not only are there 3 plugins that require it (Devhelp, Markdown and Webhelper), but also the version they need is going to be removed from Fedora sometime in the near future, meaning users won't be able to use these plugins unless they get them through another channel (like your AppImage).

I don't think directly, but GLib/GIO and probably some others depend on them.
