It=E2=80=99s not entirely clear to me what the problems are, to be honest. Marius listed specific issues that were addressed by the patches; others then pointed out at additional issues that ungoogled-chromium fixes, which Marius took into account; what=E2=80=99s left now? I understand you=E2=80=99re skeptical about Chromium, but we cannot base decisions based on vague skepticism. If you know of issues that are still unaddressed, please do list them. I=E2=80=99d also like to stress that, if Chromium is eventually included in Guix, we are committed to fixing it or removing it should someone later discover that it does not comply with the FSDG (that=E2=80=99s the =E2=80= =9CCommitment to Correct Mistakes=E2=80=9D section of FSDG.) > i would like to consider all FSDG distros as being part of a larger > federation, sharing the same primary goals; As you know, several of us have occasionally asked for advice on the gnu-linux-libre list regarding concrete issues that we encountered (a recent example was Inferno, which we ended up not adding to the distro due to unresolved issues.) I believe Marius and others here made a real effort in understanding and addressing the ways in which Chromium would not comply with the FSDG. If you=E2=80=99re aware of issues that are unaddressed, please share! Thank you, Ludo=E2=80=99.
