That sounds to me like a great way to initiate a Linux fork devoted to independence from big business.

Browsers are NOT part of the Linux kernel, so why does the LF need to get involved at all?  I guess Google's first step is to introduce functions in the kernel which support Chromium, then they gradually get more involved and introduce "enhancements" which support the Google business model.

Let's hope the LF are smart enough to avoid being sucked in.
