Awesome this has gotten so far! Great work Christian and tpopela and
hughsie and everybody else involved in this!
Agreed. We know from other fairly random sampling that about half of
Fedora users install Chrome for a web browser. Making it a bit easier
for them to get it sounds like a benefit to me. I'll make sure this
is on our next agenda. I suppose the point is just to make sure that
we have all actions taken care of to include. Would this be an update
later to the fedora-workstation-repos package?
