Is it time to allow Chromium in Fedora?

In addition, if you have write access to ~/, you can also change .bashrc
to add paths to executable files and do all sorts of other nasty things.

FWIW I run Mozilla's Firefox nightly builds and they work perfectly fine
on Fedora. I've also found the lag behind the official releases
annoying, also for some other large end-user packages (blender), for no
perceived benefit. But it's not especially painful.
