As far as I'm concerned, this is the most correct view. And for the purpose of this discussion, they are practically the same. The issue here is that version 18 is considered outdated and insecure. The version of chromium that we should have right now is 21, whether it be in the form of chromium-browser or google-chrome. It would be nice if someone could step up and maintain the chromium-browser version of chromium, but for whatever reason, that isn't happening. Shouldn't the ppas at least be updated to state that the version held is out of date? Shouldn't version 18 be removed from the archive?
