As far as I know - I could be wrong - I linked to the bug ticket for
unbundling chromium in my inox.scm ... Fedora got so frustrated over
the whole, well... neglection.. of the ticket that they forked
chromium. I would say at best it (unbundling) just works, but not with
all of the dependencies/bundles as far as I understand comments Gentoo
and Archlinux do in their chrome/chromium/inox related packages.
