I don't think a chromium-browser in universe - without security support
- is a sensible thing to provide. There's a reason chromium moved to a
snap: It takes too much effort to maintain across all stable releases.
I'm not confident that the community can keep up with supporting
chromium in universe across stable releases and provide the level of
security necessary for something as critical as a web browser.
The security impact if the community cannot keep up with Chromium is too
high to warrant the risk. And we don't want that to fallback to the
security team like now, because a point of migrating to a snap was to
reduce the burden there.
Hence I'll be setting the status to Won't Fix.
** Changed in: chromium (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix
