Frankly, I'd love to "stick it to the Man" and bundle the chrome keys. It would place Google in an interesting position.
Same. :)
With that said... looking at the mailing list this feels like doing Google a favour. Clearly they do not care about their users, and do not want us to distribute the packages. Why help them keep users for a few more weeks and put in a liable situation?
Indeed, that's another big issue with that approach, that we're only postponing the inevitable. After the fuss raised on the mailing lists, they are likely to use new keys for Chrome and obfuscate them in the chrome binary.
