Chrome on Launchpad?

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Hmm, please ignore my previous cynical answer. Surely it can't be that!  More likely to be just not enough time and too tricky to run all the QA and stuff like that.  One small team is probably better all working together rather than getting "fragmented".  When most people say "fragmentation" i tend to read it as "more choice" and find it hard to pick fault with that.  
Regards from 
Tom :)

>>Chrome is the name of 2 different things; a web-browser which has been around for ages now and an OS which is slightly newer.  Very "Zen" of them!  The OS supposedly runs inside the web-browser so the 2 things; the OS and the web-browser are 1.

Unfortunately Google still call it Chrome.  So the sensible Ubuntu people take Chrome (the web-browser) and rename it Chromium to fit in with the rest of the entire world outside of Google's insanity.
