Take a deep breath :-) 

Right now, 

-> openSUSE community is spending effort to give chromium for openSUSE
-> Chrome community is spending effort to give Chrome for openSUSE

-> There are no patches added by openSUSE to customize chromium
-> Chrome development is going on at a rapid pace

So, instead of working on two different places to make Chrome available for 
*openSUSE* users, we should focus on just one place so that it will be more 
efficient. Much like, two people digging a water-well in one place instead of 
two different places.

Also, I do not intend to block Raymond. I am merely recommending him to work 
with the Chrome community who is already giving RPMs for openSUSE. It is just a 
proposal and he can happily reject it as he wish.

I understand that you may be unhappy with the board/foundation related 
happenings in openSUSE, but trust me, my mail has nothing related to any of it. 
Read through my previous mails once again with an clear mindset and see if you 
find anything other than trying to get best Chrome experience on openSUSE.

Have Fun :-)

P.S: I have been using Chrome from Google during 11.4 and even now on my 12.1 
box without any issues. So I am not really sure what the problem you referred 
to was. Even if there was a problem, I am sure the chromium community will be 
happy to fix it, for the benefit of the openSUSE users.
