The webkitgtk3 package will be removed from rawhide after Fedora 26 is branched due to the high number of unfixed security vulnerabilities. You must remove this dependency or your package will not be present in Fedora 27. Please refer to [1] for a FAQ on this matter and be advised that for some packages this may require a substantial amount of work. Note to news media: emacs is not going to be removed from Fedora. There is a configure flag that can be used to remove the dependency if it's not ported in time for F27. Carry on.

A reminder that webkitgtk3 will be retired from rawhide within the next 3-4 months. It would be great to remove the build dependency and start building emacs using --without-xwidgets to avoid emacs being automatically retired when this happens.
Following commit http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=d781662873f228b110a128f7a2b6583a4d5e0a3a, the upstream Emacs already uses the new API. I'm going to wait a bit to see if a new version comes out before webkitgtk3 gets retired. If there's no new version by then, I'm going to remove the configure option and reintroduce it later with the new Emacs version.
Why don't you just backport the commit?
