So, is this why sometimes chromium says I need to sign in again, but then leaves me endlessly trying to sign in?
I did see that gentoo has it in their ebuild file, with a note:
# Note: these are for Gentoo use ONLY. For your own distribution,
# please get your own set of keys. Feel free to contact chromium@gentoo.org
# for more info.
I can't think of any way to avoid including the keys (in the clear or partially obscured) in the ports tree....and avoid making it a RESTRICTED port and having some hassle in providing an out-of-band means to control the distribution of the info.
