Hi, Isaac!

That seems very strange to me. I see no reason why they cannot backport
patches to the Wheezy version of Chromium. Debian has been doing that since
day one on other packages. Any upstream project could change the build
environment could happen to any project, at any time.

Debian has never demanded that an upstream project stay the same for their
convenience before now. The fact that Debian chose to stop building updates
for that reason shows a lack of commitment to Wheezy. Unless there is
something I don't know about - It's not that they can't use or generate a
patch. They simply won't.
