That sounds reasonable to me. gnome-boxes can stay upgraded since its a
standalone application, though I'll still bump it to the latest version
during the next week since that will still run and provides better options
for the VMs it can download and run.

That was my same plan when Slackware 16.0 arrives. Shortly after I'll can
have all those packages upgraded to use webkit2gtk 4.1 and 6.0 and we can
drop the 4.0 version then.

Thanks,

Bob
