I'm fine with this approach, and I hope it works for a long time.
After reading this thread [0], I think that, if we keep using their keys, or even start using the chrome keys, this might put Arch into muddy legal waters and I don't think that's a good idea.
I feel the same, I personally don't want us to bear the burden of a possible backlash from a big corporation for us potentially misusing their API keys.
Note that the Fedora maintainer noted that they will not include these API keys although they are readily available. [1]
Would it be possible to make this "Google cloud sync" functionality optional/pluggable? i.e. the opensource Chromium package is going to be available in the official repo. And anyone who wants to enable the GoogleSync has to install a package from AUR. Similar to how Chromium+DRM integration is done using chromium-widevine AUR package.
