As you feel that strong about it, then why don't you provide and maintain a package chromium-stable, which is then based on the released snapshots. You can maintain it in network:chromium if you want so that it would be easy for people to download it (if they are interested).
Because stable packages do not belong in some add-on repo. Stable builds need to be in the main repo and unstable ones in an add-on repo.
The policy of allowing alpha-quality git snapshots into the main update repo is simply wrong and I will not affirm it by packaging the stable release in an add-on repo. It was already decided that even if I or someone else ever packaged the stable release, it will never become the default one because downgrading is said to be unacceptable. At least have the decency to rename your package to chromium-unstable after now you've admitted that there are actually stable Chromuim releases. (A fact that you denied last time.)
Markus, please raise the level of discourse in your future mails to the project by a factor of 3 or 4. There is no need to question other contributors' decency or accuse them of lying.
I find your statements quite insulting as that I did react on your request and put it to the opensuse-factory ML to see what other people wanted to have. The clear majority there asked to continue with providing snapshots.
I find Markus' tone quite unpleasant too. Recognise that large parts of the openSUSE project are a meritocracy and flaming productive and useful contributors because you disagree with their approach will get your views nowhere.
