That's incorrect. As Christophe wrote, there is no movement upstream in releasing a version without QtWebKit.
Fair enough. Unfortunately, OpenShot is one of the few "killer apps" that attract people to the Linux ecosystem. It used to be the #1 answer to the question "Is there a decent video editor for Linux?" (#).
How many years ago? There are more than decent video editor for Linux, open source (kdenlive, shotcut...) or commercial (DaVinci Resolve).
Not being able to run it is bad, even if it's upstream's fault (*). Looking at the issue you link, only openSUSE and Gentoo seem to be affected up to now. Even Fedora Rawhide still seems to ship qt5-qtwebengine. Asking as a dumb user here: If they can, why can't we?
qtwebkit != qtwebengine Anyway, rejoice, openshot 2.6 is out since yesterday.
