I am not sure how this would be taken, but I propose we not only remove it from the repos, but we clean the AUR of Chromium and Chrome too and we enforce no one uploads any more such variants. This, I believe, is the only way the message will be loud and clear to our users because people will have to really share Chrome PKGBUILDs on 3rd party platforms as if it were illegal. In the end, this is what Google wants, right!? We cannot distribute Chrome's binary nor can we build a functioning Chromium. They essentially want their software no where near our _dirty_ platform. I think we should abide.
With regards to the above statement from myself here on the discussion of what to do with Chromium given the circumstances, I would like to apologise both for the way I reacted and the way I worded that reaction. I did not indent to be hostile towards anyone, much less our users, however, I do now realise this is essentially what I projected. For this I am truly sorry. I was very angry and felt betrayed, but that is no reason to act out in this way. To those, I have hurt or in any way offended, I am sorry and I hope you can understand. -- Regards, Konstantin P.S. Please don't take this email as a way to add or take away from the ongoing relevant discussion about Chromium's fate. I only kept the list and thread, for continuity.
