Would you say they should NOT test the options they're offering the user?

Because Gentoo has basically three options; let me know if you can think of a fourth option I'm missing.

1. Turn every optional feature from upstream into a USE flag, and test them. Which means testing all the 2^N combinations.

2. Turn every optional feature from upstream into a USE flag, but do not test them. Which means users can end up with untested combinations, some of which have proven in the past to be buggy.

3. Stop turning every optional feature from upstream into a USE flag. Which means giving up on Gentoo's distinguishing characteristics for this package.

Okay, I guess there's a fourth option:

4. Stop packaging the Chromium package at all. Which is what they've ended up doing.
