But maybe i missed it?
I only did a few searches of the relevant mailing lists.&lt;p&gt;(Also, in my experience commenting on 3 year old closed bugs is not the way to make anything happen)&lt;p&gt;(For those wondering, the actual patch set appears to be tracked here:
&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;chromium-review.googlesource.com&amp;#x2F;c&amp;#x2F;chromium&amp;#x2F;src&amp;#x2F;+&amp;#x2F;532294&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;chromium-review.googlesource.com&amp;#x2F;c&amp;#x2F;chromium&amp;#x2F;src&amp;#x2F;+&amp;#x2F;53...&lt;/a&gt;

Google is primarily focused on building Chrome -- a product, with business oriented product goals. Anyone using Chromium has already agreed to be a tag-along. That was always part of the deal.&lt;p&gt;In general I find the category of folks who -- won&amp;#x27;t use Firefox, but want to pretend they&amp;#x27;re not basically just using Google Chrome -- to be very strange indeed.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>GPUVideoDecode on Linux is impossible without patching</title><url>https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=463440</url></story>
