> We ship VA-API integration, which Google doesn't offer.

VAAPI hasn't worked for a long time on chromium. In "chrome://gpu" it shows 
"Video Decode: Software only. Hardware acceleration disabled" and it cannot be 
changed in "chrome://flags" either. This is the case for Fedora's packaged 
chromium and rpmfusion's chromium-freeworld. I encourage you to verify this 
yourself using intel or amd graphics.

An outdated browser that has many known vulnerabilities is a huge security 
problem and provides tangible drawbacks. If it's too much work to keep current 
then it should be removed from the repository. We do not want users to be under 
the illusion that the provided package is secure and maintained when it's not.

I would argue that providing secure packages takes priority over most other 
packaging issues.
