With close to 1500 bugs open, we need *your* help :-). If you think
this issue is worthy of bringing upstream, please see to it!
Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll close this issue as not-a-bug as Marius
suggested, as it appears to me reasonable that the Guix-installed
ungoogled-chromium wouldn't know to police (especially outside of
regular updates) software installed from external sources to Guix.
Thank you,
Maxim
