I am maintainer of aur/thorium-browser-bin.  Please do *not* merge the
-avx2-bin package into the -bin package.

Although the -bin package supports building for x86_64_v3, there has been a
class of users who demand it be the default even though doing so would be
against Arch guidelines and benchmarks show no performance benefit.  I
would prefer that those users *not* resume spamming at the -bin package.

Also, upstream thorium-browser is effectively unmaintained.  There has not
been a new release for five months.  Users are advised to switch to a
better maintained browser.
